Session #1: Introduction to Fly-Fishing
Date and Time: Thursday, October 15 from 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
Location: The Chalet At Freedlander Park, 400 Hillside Dr, Wooster, OH 44691
Session Description: Students will begin outside and learn how to assemble fly-fishing tackle and cast a fly line using the overhead cast and the roll cast. Indoor classroom instruction will then cover the basics of fly fishing, including history of the sport; types of fly rods, lines, leaders and tippets; recognizing various fly patterns; and how to tie two basic fly fishing knots. Each student will receive a packet of flies to keep and a copy of the “Orvis Guide to Beginning Fly fishing”.

Session #2: On-Stream Instruction and Fly-Fishing
Date and Time: Saturday, Oct. 17 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Location: Grosjean Park, Freedlander Rd, Wooster Ohio 44691
Session Description: On Apple Creek, a local fishing stream, students will use nets to discover what fish eat in a stream, learn how to recognize holding areas for trout, and how to approach fishing a stream. Students will help stock the stream by releasing catchable-sized, hatchery-raised rainbow trout into Apple Creek. After lunch, students will be paired with experienced Trout Unlimited members who will help them fly-fish for trout. All fishing will be catch-and-release.
All fly fishing equipment will be provided. Be prepared to go outside even in inclement weather (the last session will be postponed if thunderstorms occur). Participants are asked to bring a sack lunch plus sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, water, insect repellant and other items to make the experience individually more comfortable. Students should wear waders or calf-high boots, or be prepared to wade wet in old tennis shoes.

Applicants must be at least 12 years of age and youths under16 must be accompanied by an adult. Questions can be directed to Randy Rowe, Clear Fork River Chapter of Trout Unlimited at
