Beginning Fly Fishing

Members of the Chattooga River of Trout Unlimited teach a course in beginning fly fishing through the OSHER Lifelong Learning Program with Clemson University. The course is divided into four major modules:

1. Information about equipment and supplies needed to fly fish
2. Instruction for safety on the river, knots, and casting techniques
3. Discussions on reading the water, trout habitat, and fishing regulations
4. Demonstration and fly fishing on a local river

The class has been very successful by encouraging good conservation practices and providing an excellent outdoor activity. Chapter members can also provide mentoring sessions on request.
