Fly Fishing Guide

The courses are given by certified EFFA guides / Instructors, who are nominated by the Fly Fishing Department.

The certification has two parts:

Examination element I, the preliminary examination 1 day.

Only those who have passed the preliminary examination will be permitted to attend the Guide Workshop.

Examination element II, the guide workshop / examination (2 days)

During the 2-day course, participants learn everything they need to know to become a successful guide.

However, good pre-knowledge is necessary in: Swimming, comrade assistance, CPR.

At the end of the course, participants prove their skills in a test.

The EFFA Guide knows

How to lead a group on running water or standing water.
How to present the fly to the fish looking for food. (requires medium/high casting ability).
Where to find the fish (know how to read the water).
What the fish eat and why (the food chain).
How to set up a camp.
How to proceed in the event of an accident (specific water rescue including CPR = cardiac massage).

This is the only way we can grant a subsequent reliable certification as an EFFA guide.
