Classes & Events
At Lost Coast Outfitters, education isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of the current that runs through everything we do. From casting lessons in Golden Gate Park to fly-tying nights in the shop, we believe that learning together builds better anglers and a stronger community.
Our classes and events are designed to help you grow your skills, connect with fellow anglers, and deepen your understanding of the water — no matter your skill level.
Come learn from some of the most experienced guides and instructors on the West Coast, right here in San Francisco.

CalTrout Fish Water People Film Festival
Fish Water People Film Festival: Flow State
In the zone. Locked in. In your element.
Flow State is that indescribable moment when everything clicks - when you're so immersed in what you're doing that time dissolves, self-doubt fades, and you're simply present. The activity that inspires flow state looks different to everyone. It might be the feeling of a perfect cast, the rhythm of paddling downstream, or the meditative focus of watching water move over stones.
This year's second annual Fish Water People Film Festival explores the Flow State, and the powerful connection between Californians and our waterways. Through a curated collection of short films, we will discover how flowing water draws us in, grounds us, challenges us, and reminds us what we're fighting to protect.
These films will capture the full spectrum of flow – from high-energy narratives of adventure and risk to intimate portrayals of connection along the waterfront, from generations-old traditions to brand-new discoveries. We’re excited to share your stories about getting lost in the beauty, adventure, and sacredness of California’s rivers.
Screenings will take place at theaters across California. Join us for films, filmmaker Q&As, raffle prizes, and the chance to connect with others who understand why California's rivers and coast matter.

Putah Creek Cleanup and Trail Maintenance
The Northern California Council of Fly Fishers International has scheduled a 2nd cleanup effort for June 13th that will cover key access points and include garbage clean-up as well as other restoration work to be done. The plan calls for current “existing trails” to be opened to a width of roughly 4 to 6 feet. Riparian areas marked with signs (and with irrigation lines) are to be left alone as these support local plants (including milkweed) that sustain endangered monarch butterfly populations.
