After completing this class, you should have all the skills and understanding needed to catch fish with a fly rod.  I offer this class as a full-day session that runs from 9am to 3:30pm.  Cost is $125 per student.  My next Introduction to Fly Fishing class will be held in Orono Maine on Saturday April 5 2025.
