Have you ever wanted to learn something truly special for this area?

The Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited is holding its annual Fly Fishing School on Saturday, April 29, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Harmon Field in Tryon.

Students will receive not only a full day of practical instruction from experienced anglers covering the basics of fly fishing — including equipment, casting, line management and stream tactics — they will also get a half day session of “hands on” learning on one of the area’s trout rich rivers or streams. The combination of the classroom instruction and on-the-water guided practice makes this one of the most unique and economical fly fishing schools available in our area.

There is a fee for the school. Equipment for the class will also be provided. 

For more information or to register for the school, visit the PCTU website, atpisgahchaptertu.org, or email Carole Deddy at carolededdy@gmail.com. Class size is limited. Early registration is recommended.

All proceeds from the school help support the various Trout Unlimited educational and environmental programs in Western North Carolina. The PCTU Chapter meets on the second Thursday of the month at the DFR Room at 36 East Main Street in Brevard, N.C. (beneath Jaime’s Restaurant).

Trout Unlimited is dedicated to the conservation, protection, and restoration of coldwater

fisheries and their watersheds in the Western North Carolina region. The local chapter serves Polk, Henderson and Transylvania.
