Bristol Bay Fly Fishing & Guide Academy 
I applied a few years ago. Maybe 3 and the program was cancelled. I am 26 now and will that disqualify me from trying to apply?
Hello,
You may apply for 2015. Please just make a note of this in your application. Thank you for getting in touch with us.
Kindly,
BBRGA Team
Hi I am makaiyak prince from kotlik Alaska, and I would like to try this training program. And I’m 17 years old.
Hi Makaiyak! Please fill out an application above and send it in either in print or via the Google form. You can contact mbarker@tu.org if you need help submitting.
Are young people who are not from BB are encouraged to apply or no? If yes, what are their chances of getting in? Long shot?
2024 application won’t print for me and there is no mailing address on it And I’m an instructor for the academy.
Hello! I’m super interested and just learning about this. Although I might be a little late is there still a possibility of joining if there are still some spots left?
Yes! Please feel free to apply and if there are spots still available we will let you know. Thanks for reaching out.
