Adult Enrichment 2024-25

In a mere two hours, instructor Mike Alwin will teach you everything you need to know about this thoroughly engrossing sport. You will learn about the equipment (rods, reels, lines, leaders, flies), the fish species available to the fly angler, where to fish (secret spots), and how to get started. A casting demonstration is included in this class. Mike has been fly fishing for over fifty years and is the former owner of Bob Mitchell’s Fly Shop. He started teaching fly fishing schools in 1980 and is an enthusiastic instructor in spite of his mind-numbing array of seemingly pointless anecdotes.
