Becoming an Outdoor Woman: Fly Fishing Weekend

May 11, 2018 - May 13, 2018

$125

For women of all skill levels who want to learn more about fly fishing.

In the stream ecology session, discover tiny aquatic species that support a much larger food web. Explore a mountain
stream and search for aquatic organisms using nets and kick seines to help understand what types of flies work best on the
water. Then learn to tie flies that mimic the natural fish food you find in the river. In the Basic Equipment session, get
the scoop on proper waders, wading shoes, vests and other items that make fishing fun. Finally, learn knot-tying, fly-casting and presentation. Our experienced instructors emphasize the importance of basic casting techniques and offer one-on-one instruction to help participants practice their moves. Sunday morning you’ll get to practice and enhance all your new found skills with guided fishing on the North Fork Mills River.
