INTRO TO FLY FISHING ON THE WATER CLASS

Saturday May 26, 2012 from 10am - 4pm CLASS IS FULL

In this comprehensive introduction to fly fishing class we will start out in the shop learning about equipment, knots, fly selection, and fly fishing theory.

The class will then move outdoors where the fly casting instruction will take place. Students will get plenty of hands-on instruction while learning the proper mechanics behind a good cast.

Finally, we will put it all together and spend the rest of the class fishing on a local stream. Fishing strategies, techniques and more will be discussed and practiced.

Cost is $95 + tax in advance. The use of rods & reels is included. Some loaner waders are available, too. Class size is limited to 6 students.
