Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Sunday, August 11, 2024.
This three hour long program will introduce you to basic fly rod casting techniques, fly selection, fly characteristics, and the different fishing water characteristics encountered in freshwater environments in NC as well the game fish found within them. The program will begin at Dogwood Shelter for the classroom portion before we walk to locations along the lakeshore for casting lessons, following this we will be wading and fishing in the lake!
Please bring sunscreen, sunglasses , a hat, and *comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for wading in the lake. Feel free to bring your personal fly fishing equipment, however there will be enough fly rods and equipment provided by the park to use during the program.
