Did you know you can chase any fish on any water with a FLY? That's right, from 4" minnows to giant swordfish, 200 lb tarpon and 58" muskies have all been caught on flies with a fly rod.

The history goes back 3000 years. In this class, participats will learn the easy to follow basic skills that are not only fun but useful in tying jigs for spin cast fishing also. Focus will be on flies that catch bass, trout, crappies and sunfish.

About the Instructor: Bob Wagner says, "I feel privileged and blessed to have grown up on the edge of the woods next a lake. Spent my formative years fishing, hunting roaming swamps and woods learning everything about nature. Spent a few college years in wildlife management and graduated with a teaching degree in Science. Designed and taught environmental, biology and life science. Did nature hikes and evening programs as park naturalist. Spent the last 22 years as a Trout Unlimited volunteer and board member. Designed, coordinated and taught youth fly fishing program going on 20 years. I believe building a students confidence in fly tying and or fly casting can open a door of opportunity for that student to find appreciation, joy and respect for their new skills and knowledge. All of this focused on a great activity, hobby and art form in nature's great outdoors."
