This workshop consists of introductory-level, in-classroom fly fishing instructions. Local biologist and educator Anna Le teaches about freshwater insects, water quality, fly selections, knot tying, the basics of setting up a fly fishing rod, trout ecology and behavior, and what you need to know to prepare for field days in the springtime. Personalized instruction will focus on using fly fishing as a tool and conversation starter, and how to better conserve nature as anglers and stewards. A morning session and an afternoon session are scheduled; please choose one.

Pet policy: To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow pets at most regional parks and natural areas. Pets can damage sensitive habitat and threaten wildlife the region has worked to protect. In natural areas where dogs are not allowed, people see more wildlife and get closer to it. Seeing-eye dogs or other service animals are allowed. Please bring cleanup materials.
