Flyfish 101
Have you thought about fly-fishing but did not know how to get started? Here is the way. Start at the beginning and learn the right way about: fly rod and reel; line, leader and tippet; how to rig your outfit; what you will need; where to find fish; how to cast (casting demonstration, weather permitting); and types of flies. This introductory course is ideally suited to either men or women. It is good for those who have never fly fished and those who have begun but want a better understanding of the basics. The instructor is a guide, custom rod maker and member of Foothills Craft Guild and Custom Rod Makers Guild.
$75 per single/$60 for each additional family member registering at the same time.
