Fly Fishing School 2011
May 13, 14 & 15, 2011
Do Trout still elude you? Entering the fly fishing realm can sometimes throw a beginner into a spiral destined for disaster where they finally call it quits. Let us help you cut the learning curve. Come join us for a weekend Fly fishing School on the scenic Casselman River in Western Maryland.
Why the Casselman River? The diverse landscape of the 
shoreline as well as the varied water conditions create a great place to have a school able to introduce the student to the many types of situations they will encounter. It also gives the instructors the ability to address the problems and ways to counter them as we progress through the school.
For more information and to reserve your spot visit the Fly Fishing School page.
