The Art of Fly Fishing

First the beautiful casting motion, then the effortless landing of the fly perfectly on the water. Ever wonder how people do it? We will start by going over some fly casting techniques and practice on dry land. If time allows, we will head down to the river and see if we can lure any fish into biting. Fly rods, reels, and flies, are provided. A Minnesota DNR Fishing License is required for the fishing on the river portion of the program (those under the age of 16 do not need a license).

Open to ages 12 & up. Pre-registration is required. Fee: $15 ($10 for River Bend members).
