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:
- Information about equipment and supplies needed to fly fish
- Instruction for safety on the river, knots, and casting techniques
- Discussions on reading the water, trout habitat, and fishing regulations
- 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.
