Learn from the experts! Instructors for “Beginning Fly Fishing” are members of the Chattooga River Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Classroom topics include equipment, techniques, fly-fishing knots, safety and conservation. When learning casting, participants will have one instructor for every two or three students. The fourth session culminates in a daylong fishing experience on a local trout stream. All equipment (except wading boots and waders) will be provided. Wading boots and waders are recommended but not required. Students can wade in running shoes and wool socks. This course is “moderately challenging” because participants will be standing and walking in running water, climbing over slick rocks, etc. A South Carolina fishing license is required prior to fishing day.

Experienced fly fisherman Tom McInnis and his cadre, all are members of Trout Unlimited, will conduct this course.
