Here is a quick outline of what to expect:

• The school will be three hours long, from 9am to 12pm on Saturday May 4th. 

• The school will be free of charge. We will limit attendance to twenty students.   

• The school will be designed for beginners.  No previous knowledge of fly-fishing is required. All skill levels are welcome to come.

• After a brief introduction to the flyrod, line and reel, we will go outside and learn the basics of the fly cast.

• After the class practices their casting, we will reconvene and cover more topics like where to fish, what to catch and what kind of flies to use. 

• We will break into smaller groups to cover more advanced topics like reading a stream and knot tying.  

• Snacks and beverages will be provided. 

• After the class, fishing off of the pier on Canandaigua Lake is available for anyone with a current NYS Freshwater fishing license
