FLY FISHING SCHOOL

My name is Nick Coppola. I am the owner and head guide of Slickwater Adventures and lead instructor for Adams Eden Fly Fishing Schools. My passion for fly fishing has grown from roots planted as a child. I have always been fascinated by the outdoors and was entranced by fishing at an early age. While studying as a biology student, I found myself immersed in the world of fly fishing. After spending the summers of 2000 and 2001 fly fishing the rivers of South West Montana, I was hopelessly addicted. I began building rods for a local shop and was licensed as a NYS Guide in 2002.

In 2003 I began guiding professionally and was fortunate enough to work for Jones Outfitters Ltd. in Lake Placid, NY. I spent five of the most memorable seasons of my life (2003-2007) working in the heart of the Adirondacks. It was at Jones Outfitters that I learned what it truly meant to be a guide. I was privileged to have an amazing group of people to work with and learn from. In 2005 Jones Outfitters was recognized as the Orvis Shop of the Year. Today they continue to be the premier outfitter in the Adirondack region. 

After taking a break from the fly fishing industry to finish my college degree, I moved to Central New York. Only minutes from world class Salmon and Steelhead Fishing, it was it was the perfect place to start Slickwater Adventures and continue my passion for fly fishing.

Slickwater Adventures was started as a way to connect with the community and introduce fly fishing to a broad range of individuals. I enjoy working with several local groups and continue to look for new ways to bring fly fishing into the area.
