Join us for a Beginners Fly-Fishing and Fly-Tying Class at Chadron State Park October 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mountain time.
Anglers can learn the basics of fly fishing such as casting, fly tying, and basic knots, intended to prepare them to catch trout and panfish. The workshop, which is open to new and experienced fly fishers, will include all fishing equipment, materials and tools needed.
There is a limit of 25 participants for the class and we would prefer that participants be of sufficient age to comfortably and confidently handle a 9 ft – 5 or 6 wt. fly rod. This usually means that kids under about 12 years of age may have difficulty adequately handling a fly rod of that length and weight to move the line needed for casting. If you have questions about this class for potential younger participants, please contact us at Cornhuskerflyfishers@gmail.com or larry.pape@nebraska.gov.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will host this workshop, led and taught by members of the Cornhusker Fly Fishers Club.
Cost: $25 per person per event for lunch, refreshments and facilities (limited to the first 25 registrants at each event).
Directions on how to pay for the class will be given in a follow-up email from the Cornhusker Fly Fishing Club after registration on the Sign-Up Genius Website.
