Wade Well Fly Fishing Retreats

Fly Fishing Retreats Celebrating Craft: Angling, Movement, and Cuisine

Wade Well Fly Fishing Retreats are designed for those who want more than a trip - they want an experience built around skill, presence, and thoughtful living.

These retreats bring together three core crafts: fly fishing, movement, and cuisine. Days are spent on the water refining technique and reading rivers, then balanced with intentional movement, mobility, and recovery practices that support strength, resilience, and longevity. Evenings gather around beautifully prepared meals that reflect place, season, and care.

This is not about rushing from one activity to the next. It’s about skill in motion: learning to move well on the water, recover well off it, and engage fully with the environment and the people around you.

What You’ll Experience

Fly Fishing as Craft
Fish alongside experienced guides who value observation, technique, and adaptability. These retreats welcome a range of experience levels and emphasize learning, curiosity, and confidence on the water.

Movement, Mobility, and Recovery
The Wade Well Method supports the physical and mental demands of fishing through purposeful movement, joint health, recovery practices, and restorative work. This custom programming is designed to help you fish better now and for years to come.

Cuisine as a Central Experience
Meals are locally inspired, thoughtfully prepared, and deeply connected to place. Food is not an afterthought, it’s part of the rhythm of the retreat, supporting conversation, culture, and connection.

A Balanced Pace
Each retreat is intentionally structured to balance effort and rest. Expect full days that still leave room to breathe, reflect, and enjoy being where you are.

Who These Retreats Are For

Wade Well retreats are for anglers of all experience levels who:

  • Love fly fishing, or are ready to deepen their relationship with it

  • Value learning, skillfulness, and thoughtful practice

  • Appreciate great food, beautiful places, and meaningful conversation

  • Want adventure without burnout, and restoration without indulgence

These are welcoming, grounded experiences, many of which of designed specifically for women, and others that are co-ed.

A Proven, Evolving Experience

Since 2022, Lindsay has led more than 20 fly fishing retreats and schools across the West. Each program continues to evolve, shaped by participant feedback, seasonal rhythms, and a commitment to provide one of a kind excellence within the fly fishing travel space.

Looking Ahead

Wade Well retreats and schools will continue through the 2026–2027 seasons, alongside the launch of the Aquila Women’s Fly Fishing Academy in 2026, which will offer curriculum-based fly fishing education based in Bozeman, Montana.
