Fishwest Presents: Fly Fishing 101 Course

Welcome to the only “summer school” you actually want to be apart of! Imagine you and your family driving into the emerald mountains in Kamas, UT. Fresh, clean and warm air great you as you step out of your vehicle and make your way into the Fishwest Fly Shop to start your very own adventure into fly fishing. Fishwest Presents: Fly Fishing 101 Course!

 

Covid is slowing down. More places are open for business and the travel world seems to have opened up. Perhaps you’re looking for something local to do as a stay-cation? Maybe your family is visiting Utah for the first time and want to plan a bonding event? Maybe you’re interested in seeing what this “Fly Fishing” thin is all about? Whatever your reasoning, this COMPLETELY FREE class is for you!

 

Starting now through Labor Day Weekend (September 3rd), Fishwest is offering a FREE Fly Fishing 101 Course!

Who: Anyone and everyone!

What: During this 90 minute class we will go over fly fishing vs. spin/tackle fishing. How to set up a fly rod and reel. What knots to use. What flies to use and a 45 minute casting clinic in our parking lot. We will provide rod and reels for the practice class, but if you have your own gear that you would like to practice on, you can bring that too!

Where: Fishwest Fly Shop, 138 WEST 280 SOUTH, KAMAS, UTAH 84036.
