Details
We start by covering the basic concepts that help us locate trout in the water, we’ll take a closer look at what they eat and which fly to choose from our box, and then on to the main attraction; casting and presenting our fly to a waiting fish on the still waters of our teaching pond. Your graduation exercise will be catching and gently releasing a live rainbow trout all on your own!
