Fly fishing is a relaxing and unique way to experience Yosemite’s summer beauty in the high country. Start this weekend adventure with a full day of catch-and-release fishing in the Tuolumne River alongside a professional guide. Round out the weekend with a full day of learning about efforts to study and protect Yosemite’s water-loving wildlife with a park aquatic ecologist. After spending a serene two days learning about the park’s aquatic species and honing skills such as casting, choosing flies and “reading” the water, you’ll be knowledgeable in all things river-related.

Included with your registration:

  • Two-day workshop on Saturday and Sunday, starting at 9 am until about 4 pm each day. Spend Saturday fly fishing with a local outfit, Sierra Fly Fisher, and Sunday with an aquatic ecologist learning about aquatic life research and river ecology.
  • Park entry (as needed).
  • Camping included, if needed; limited sites are shared among all the participants (reservation arrives Friday, August 9, and departs Monday, August 12) at Tuolumne Meadows Campground.

Note: There is no discount if you choose not to use our gate pass or campsites. Information about upgrading your accommodations to stay at Tuolumne Meadows Lodge will be emailed to you after you sign up. The option to upgrade expires 45 days before the program.
