Introduction to Fly Fishing will teach young anglers how a fly rod functions and how to properly cast a fly rod. In addition, anglers will learn about various trout baits and how to successfully present those baits.
Anglers who wish to KEEP the trout they catch must purchase and present a valid trout permit at the beginning of the program. Anglers who wish to practice catch and release trout fishing will not need a trout permit. Trout permits are $7 and can be purchased at any MDC Nature Center or local sporting goods store.
Participants of this class must be between the ages of 7 and 15.
