Fly Fishing and Fly Tying

About this course

Easy to learn, the fine art of fly fishing is fun for everyone. This course, for beginners and advanced fly fishers alike, will teach you all you need to know from casting techniques through to insect entomology. We also look at tackle selection and show you how to construct a basic fly. Essential for anyone wanting to catch a carp on fly in one of the local lakes, or a trout in a mountain stream.

Materials Required: Leaders, practice casting flies, and fly tying materials for use during the course are provided.

An optional field trip is available at the conclusion of the course (at your own expense) to private waters in the Snowy Mountains.
