Description
Why purchase a new fly rod when you can fish one with the satisfaction of knowing you’ve built it yourself.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, in cooperation with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and the Cornhusker Fly Fishing Club, is sponsoring a fly rod building class for beginners this winter.
This class will be held consecutively on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Central time, starting Jan. 15, at the Turpin Outdoor Education Center in Lincoln.
The cost of the class is $35 and will include basic tools needed to build a fly rod. Each participant also must purchase a rod building and finishing kit before beginning the class. The cost of the kits varies, but a quality kit can be purchased for about $75. Participants will be given instructions and guidance on the purchase of these kit after registering. Reading glasses are recommended. Attendance during six sessions will be required to complete the fly rod.
Children age 15 and under must be accompanied by parent/guardian.
