I would highly recommend this class to anyone thinking about getting proper certification for concealed carry.

For nearly 50 years I have been flyfishing the Northwest. I've mainly been a late spring/summer…read moreangler for trout. In my first 25 years I fished mostly freestone rivers and some tailwater. I spent a lot those years on Fall River and Hat Creek. In the later 25 years I got busy with life and fished less frequently until about 8 years ago I started spending more time on tailwater rivers and some freestone. I met Mike Sandifer in 2019 while attending a Drop Shot Nymphing Seminar at Northwest School of Fly Fishing. In those two hours, I was all consumed by Mike's 100% logical approach to fly fishing. This approach resonated with me quickly after nearly a 35-year career as a Mechanical Systems Engineer. Mike was brokering in fly fishing logic which made complete sense to me. I've read a few FF books and watched a number of videos over the years, but no one I found had ever explained FF in a way Mike does. Pickup his book "Critical Concepts of Fly Fishing" and you will receive an education of a life time from a master. It might be the mostly highly concentrated bit of information on a dozen or more critical concepts. No matter where you land on the continuum of fly-fishing experience, every FF angler will benefit from mastering these concepts. I was blown away on my first read and I continue to use it as reference. While I'm not much of a reader, I destroyed two of his books within days of buying them. The other is on Drop Shot Nymphing. Why anyone in America would use any other method is beyond me. Mike explains the method and approach in the most in depth manner. No one can touch a candle to his teaching on this method. Simply put, it catches more trout than any other method I know or tried. The best thing about it, it is 100% logical. If you don't put the nymph in the target area you are not going to catch fish. No one can argue the science. This last year I made a new commitment to fish more and learn more. There is no place in Treasure Valley and frankly anywhere I've been that has such a "treasure" among us as those of us that live here. Mike has dedicated his life to fly fishing (truly - just ask him) and loves to share, coach, and teach his 35 years of learning and fishing the Southwestern part of Idaho and adjoined states. I started meeting Mike in the mornings at his training center in Boise to ask questions and gain knowledge of where and how best to fish our local area (most locations are 1.5 hours or less drive from his office). I recently registered for his "The Heart Beat and Rhythm of River" 1 on 1 sessions and we now meet weekly. For me it has been a privilege to spend as much time as I have and gain such an enormous amount of knowledge and practical guidance to allow me to become a better FF angler. This year I have branched out to new waters I've never fished and have the time of my life. I'm going to become a year-round FF angler now thanks to Mike. I'm only sorry I did begin this journey with Mike sooner. Mike is patient and loves to coach others on his craft. He is a master, so don't wait as long as I did and stop in today to meet Mike. Mike is a master communicator so visit his website, email him, call him, and visit his YouTube channel. When you subscribe to his YouTube channel you will find over 120 videos that will blow you away. Simple, concise, and packed full of amazing information and knowledge. Thank you, Mike, for your gift of sharing and coaching all of us who desire to be better anglers. I appreciate my time visiting with you and your friendship.

Wow, have I learned a lot! A friend and I, both retired and itching to take up fly fishing decided…read moreto enroll with the old fish hobo Mike Sandifer instead of relying on sales people and pitches for the what, where, how, and why we need to not only get started but to carry on. The value received has been far more than the tuition cost; knowledge, borrowed experience, training, mentoring that would have taken books and books to gain; not to mention the savings on inappropriate and/or unnecessary equipment to get us "dressed for success". His is the short course to "expert fly fishing"; even before you begin.

It didn't take long to realize he is extremely knowledgable, but more importantly, his process of teaching makes you feel comfortable and speeds up the learning process. I thoroughly enjoy working with him, and am purchasing more sessions to train with him weekly to improve my skills.

It was comprehensive, entertaining, and educational all while maintaining a 'lite' feel. There was a wide array of attendees ranging from complete new gun owners to those with moderate firearms experience. There was no pressure, 'judging', or intimidation from Klaus or fellow students. Klaus is surprisingly funny, and I found the guest speaker (an Idaho State Police Investigator) who spoke about Idaho laws and the use of deadly force to be especially interesting. The range time was held at Impact Guns. It's an excellent facility- clean, helpful employees, and our range marshal was very helpful. My wife just took his Basic Pistol Safety Class, and I am already enrolled in American Firearms Academy's AR-15 Level 1 Class and another Level 2 class occasionally offered. Enjoy his "nuggets"!
