Fly Fishing Primer

Fly Fishing 101 – Evening primer

$50

The Fly Fishing 101 Evening Primer course is designed to jumpstart the learning curve and get the beginner fly angler headed out to the water armed with the knowledge and skills to achieve maximum success with minimal frustration. During this in-store class, we will explain the equipment in detail from rods, reels, and lines to forceps, nippers, and flotant. We will learn about the bugs and forage food that fish eat and the flies we use to mimic them. The essential fly-fishing knots are also covered and of course, the best places to go fishing, near and far.
