Alumni Expeditions

The call of the wild doesn't stop when you turn 21. Alumni expeditions allow you to continue exploring new fisheries with a great group of people at an affordable price. They are open to alumni, family, and friends 21 and older. An LFFE host handles all the trip logistics, ensures things run smoothly, and keeps things organized, but these are not fully guided, lavish, over-the-top, budgetless adult fly fishing trips already available through other companies. On our Alumni Expeditions, expect to earn your fish. Think wading flats for miles, backpacking into wild fish, or sharing time on the oars for an epic float. Not cocktail hours, three course-seated dinners, and guides telling you when, where, and what to cast. 

Lillard Fly Fishing Expeditions was started in 2010 as a graduate thesis for my Master's Degree in Environmental Conservation Education at NYU. The operating premise was simple - by coupling amazing wilderness fly fishing camps for teens with environmental education and service learning we can help inspire future generations of fly fishing conservationists. We have been growing our unique list of trips and experiences ever since.

When it comes to choosing a summer program for your teen the options are endless. For the teen who loves to fish, be outside, and has a strong sense of adventure we have made the choice easy. We are the leader in teen fly fishing adventures and are dedicated to providing the best backcountry fly fishing experience with opportunities for teens to engage in leadership training, community service, and backcountry camping.
