Intro to Fly Fishing Class
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at fly fishing but not known where to start? Do you enjoy conventional fishing and want to look like a young Brad Pitt in the movie A River Runs Through It? Does your significant other or friend fly fish, but they stink at teaching? If so, this is the Intro to Fly Fishing Class for you! In this 2 hour, all ages, intro class we will de-mystify the gear, vocabulary, rigging, knots, casting and provide hands-on instruction for all of the above.
Items that are covered include:
-
Introduction to Fly Fishing Equipment, rods and reels - set-up and use
-
Defining Fly Fishing Terms & Techniques (How is a Bobber different from a Strike Indicator?)
-
Demonstrate how to "rig a fly rod" – assembling the pieces and the reel through tying on leader, tippet and, perhaps most importantly, the fly (or flies…)
-
Demonstrate the four most important knots (loop to loop, clinch, enhanced clinch and triple surgeon’s knot
-
Introduction to basic fly-casting techniques
