Registration for the July 9-11, 2027 Michigan
Trout Unlimited Fly Fishing School opens October 1, 2026

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

–> BEFORE YOU REGISTER, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW WITH CARE!

• Canceling your registration: Tuition payments are fully refundable up to one month in advance of the start of school. All cancelations after that date are non-refundable; TUFFS incurs the expenses associated with your reservation weeks, even months, before the school begins.  Once booked, we are liable for these expenses whether you participate or not.  While we often have a wait list, trying to backfill cancellations made within a month of the school is problematic at best.  If this creates a concern, please consider purchasing trip insurance.

• Pricing is based on the cost of meals, lodgings, and the equipment and supplies provided according to your level of instruction. Instruction is provided free of charge by our volunteer staff members. If you need assistance in determining the level of instruction appropriate for you, click here. Further questions can be referred to the TUFFS director. 

• A note concerning NON-Student Guests: If you are accompanying a student but not participating in our fly fishing program (staying with them in TUFFS-assigned accommodations and taking advantage of meals) please be aware that tuition covers the cost of lodging, meals and administrative overhead. Instruction is provided free of charge through the generosity of TUFFS volunteers. Therefore, your cost will be the same as for a participating student.

• Thursday Night Arrival: There are a limited number of rooms available for a Thursday night arrival. Please contact the TUFFS director if interested. NOTE: If this is desired, a special ticket will be created prior to (or after) checkout with your initials – it will be for a room ONLY, meals are not included Thursday evening or Friday morning.

LEVELS OF INSTRUCTION: NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED

If you are:

• a NOVICE LEVEL student with little or no previous instruction, or

scroll down and begin the registration process.

If you are signing up as an INTERMEDIATE LEVEL student (either a new or repeating student in Intermediate), you must first contact the School Director, Perry Piccard, at 269-384-9006 to review your previous school graduation recommendations or to discuss your previous instruction and experience. You will return to this page to sign up after the interview.

If you are signing up as an ADVANCED LEVEL student (either a new or repeating student in Advanced), you must contact the Advanced School Coordinator, Scott Smith, at 517-442-2926 for instructions and placement. Registration selections show as greyed out and expired, but show the current pricing. A “ticket” will be created specifically for you once your registration interview is complete using your initials. The Advanced class is limited to 8 students. You will return to this page to sign up after the interview is complete to select your specific ticket (assuming openings still exist).

IMPORTANT: If you are requesting to be put on our waiting list for more than yourself, each member of your party must have all the above information provided.
