Only $5.00 per youth - 25 Spots Available - hurry, this will fill fast!

Registration closes Monday 10-16-23

Includes all supplies, video links for pre-requisite learning and LUNCH!

This event is open to all youth, ages 11 - 17 who wish to learn Fly Fishing.  If youth is a registered member of the BSA and wishes to complete the Merit Badge, the pre-requisites must be completed prior to Event Day so that on site MB Counselor can document and sign off on them.

This program provides a unique ONLINE LEARNING VIDEO SERIES that may be completed prior to the course.  We will mail the supply kit  if you are outside of the GR area, or you can come in and pick it up Monday- Friday 10 am - 3 pm.  We will email the link to the video series to you so that the learner may complete the online series and follow along with the supplies provided to learn the basics of equipment, flying ties, and other preliminary learning that will make the event day a fun experience.

This is a RAIN OR SHINE Event - and no rain date will be scheduled until Spring 2023 if weather prevents us from holding it on October 21st.

No prior experience or equipment is required - we'll provide everything  you need to use at this event.

LUNCH Included:  We will provide lunch and bottled water for all registered youth.  We anticipate that we'll have Jimmy John's sandwich, chips and cookies.  If this doesn't fit with your youth's dietary needs, we ask that you please bring a lunch for them as we will be unable to accomodate any special requests at this event.  Thank you for your understanding!
