The St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers will offer a one-day fly fishing workshop designed for women on Saturday, July 20, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The workshop will be a hands-on class featuring the basics of fly fishing including gear and tackle, casting, knots, entomology, and safety. The workshop will be taught on a small pond and students will have the opportunity to hook and land a fish.

All equipment will be provided for the class, although students are welcome to bring their own equipment if desired. Students will need to bring their own water bottle, hat, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, pen or pencil for note-taking, and a one-day Indiana fly fishing license.

The cost of the workshop is $35 which includes printed materials, lunch, snacks, and a one-year membership to the SJVRFF club (sjrvff.com).

The class will be offered rain or shine; appropriate clothing includes lightweight, layer-able clothing and rain gear. The workshop will be limited to 14 women.
