Fly Fishing Training

Fly Fishing Training

Fly fishing is a type of fishing where artificial lures, called flies, are used to imitate insects, baitfish, crustaceans, and other natural food sources. Rather than using live bait or mass-produced plastic lures, fly fishing flies are all handmade with either feather, hair, fur, and or synthetic materials.

Join us here at CCC and learn more about fly fishing and how to build your own fly rod. Rods built in class are typically in the 2 to 10 weight categories. Students will need to purchase their own rod components, but some rod building equipment will be furnished for class use. Quality and options will depend on the student’s choice, but cost of supplies will range from $125 and up. Students may visit with the instructor prior to the class meeting for advice in component selection. This is a great way to build a high-quality fly rod and save money!

This course will begin on September 26, 2024 and will run for 8-sessions, ending on November 12, 2024. Classes will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm - 9:00pm. The fee to register for this course is $45.
