For the Love of Fly-Fishing
In this classroom-based, introductory course on
fly-fishing for trout, we will start with how to select
equipment including fly-rod, fly-reel, fly-line, waders,
boots, etc. We will learn about aquatic insects and the
fly-patterns that imitate them. We will discuss flypattern
selection, reading trout water, and trout lies in
rivers and streams. In addition, we'll learn fly-fishing
tactics for fishing the dry-fly, nymph, emerger, and
streamer. We'll learn casting and the set-up for flyfishing
for salmon and steelhead. We will conclude
with an overview of the many fly-fishing opportunities
here in Virginia. No purchase of equipment is needed.
