Fly-fishing, fly-tying class to be held at Chadron SP

Curious anglers can participate in a Beginner’s Fly-Fishing and Fly-Tying Class at Chadron State Park from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Mountain time Oct. 4.

They can learn the basics of fly tying that will prepare them to catch trout and panfish next spring. The workshop is open to new and experienced fly fishers and will include all fishing equipment, materials and tools needed.

The class will be limited to the first 25 participants, preferably of sufficient age to comfortably and confidently handle a 9-foot, 5- or 6-weight fly rod. Children younger than age 12 may have difficulty handling a fly rod of that length and weight.

Direct any questions to Cornhuskerflyfishers@gmail.com or larry.pape@nebraska.gov.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will host this workshop, which will be led and taught by members of the Cornhusker Fly Fishers Club. The cost is$25 per person, which includes lunch and refreshments.

See the calendar event entry at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov to register and to find more information.
