Join Coach Wes this Fall for a Fly Fishing Masterclass. Coach Wes is a very experienced fly fisherman and worked as a professional fishing guide for many years. Wes specializes in Fly casting lessons and also in tying his own flies. This weekly class will start off with fly fishing basics, from casting techniques to fishing tactics. We will learn how to cast our lines, make up our own leaders, tie our own knots, and learn to make our own flies. And obviously, we will learn how to CATCH FISH!! Our main target will be Trout but we will also target Bass and other species on the fly. Hopefully your young fly fishers will be able to provide some dinner!!
