General Class Information
This popular beginners program is run by volunteer instructors that are donating their time to run this. We build our staff based on the
number of participants who enroll. Many of our volunteer instructors
travel a great distance to help at these events. Cancelling at the last
minute really forces us to go through some gymnastics trying to cancel
instructors and address equipment needs. We often have a waiting list
and the sooner we can open a spot the better. If for some reason you
cannot attend please contact the listed instructor ASAP (however, emergencies occur, we
understand that).
Participants must commit to attending the entire program and all listed sessions.
Preregistration
is required and will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
The course is limited to 10 participants, ages 15 and older. All program
materials and equipment will be provided. No experience is required. Beginners are always welcome.
Participants
will learn to tie several fly patterns that are commonly used in New
Hampshire waters. They will be introduced to the use of all of the
basic tools and materials necessary to tie flies, and learn what the
flies imitate. Instructors will also discuss insect anatomy and explain
why a particular fly is used and how is it used on the water.
New
Hampshire Fish and Game’s “Let's Go Fishing” program has taught
thousands of children and adults to be safe, ethical and successful
anglers. Find out more at www.fishnh.com/fishing/lgf-schedule.html. The
program is federally funded through the Sport Fish Restoration Program.
