BC FlyFishers Invites You to an Introductory Hands-On Course on Fly Fishing for Those Who Always Wanted to Try Fly Fishing but Didn’t Know Where to Start!
This course is for budding fly fishers age 12 and over. No experience necessary, in fact this course is targeted toward those who want to try fly fishing for the first time but is beneficial for beginners as well.
This is a great gift opportunity to get your spouse, kids, grandkids and friends exposed to a sport you love.
We supply everything for you to use during the course including rods, lines, fly’s and accessories. We will cover the basics and give you hands on experience including;
- What’s different and special about fly fishing
- Equipment definitions and set up
- Knot tying
- Basics of the different fly’s and how they are fished
- Fly tying – what is it and how it is an art form on its’ own
- Casting instruction from FFI (Fly Fishers International) certified instructors
- Plenty of time to practice casting and to revisit any of the other subjects covered
Where – West Endicott Fire Station 113 N. Page Ave, Endicott, N.Y. – We have a gym in the building where you will learn to cast with expert guidance.
When – Saturday mornings, 9am – 1pm in March – We will add as many sessions as there is interest and are accepting only 5-6 students per session. First session is Saturday March 1.
Cost – $50 per student. Drinks and snacks included
You will leave with a sense of what fly fishing is all about plus a booklet with background on what we talk about… links to help cut through the confusion on equipment choices to help you choose your first rod, reel and line, and videos you can access as you proceed on your fly-fishing adventure.
Once the weather allows, our club has fishing days on ponds and on the different creeks and rivers that bless our area. We set up fishing buddies on these outings so there will be someone to help you on the water as well. There is no charge for this as a member of our club.
You are welcome to join our mailing list, join our club and participate in our meetings, fishing trips and other events as well. This is optional, you do not have to join our club to participate in this course.
