Catch the obsession of fly fishing – the enjoyment of a lifetime!

Discover the essence of fly fishing and enjoy a lifetime of excitement.  This course is designed for those with little or no fishing experience.  Our knowledgeable instructors with many years of experience will offer the basics of rods, lines, leaders, hooks and flies, along with fly casting techniques, tackle and rod assembly, basic knot tying, how to properly release your catch, and the life cycles of aquatic insects.  On Saturday we will be on stream fly fishing.  Our goal is for you to learn the basics to enjoy fly fishing on your own.  Cost of the course includes use of equipment, but we encourage you to bring your own.

YOU MUST HAVE A VALID NEW YORK  STATE FISHING LICENSE.
