Workshop Fee: $144.00
This workshop will introduce the novice fly angler to the basics of fly fishing.

Students will be given an overview of how to present the fly to fish in different types of water, how to read the water and the best methods to catch fish. Focus will be on fishing for trout, but all information will be applicable to other target species. Basic knot applications and tying will be demonstrated and practiced.
