Getting started in the sport of fly fishing can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Fly fishing has a rich history, its own language and equipment that is quite different from conventional fishing gear. In this session Donna, will talk about five basic components of fly fishing: Equipment, Knots, Casting, Fly Selection, and Resources. Let her show you that this sport can be simple, fun, and accessible! The waters throughout Wisconsin are teeming with fish of all species. A Driftless stream trout sits in wait to sip your dry fly off the surface of the water as you watch in anticipation. Get ready for the strike of a smallmouth bass as it hits a streamer below the surface. Come get a glimpse into the fascinating world of fly fishing and how you can be a part of it too.
