The CFGA Women’s Outdoor Club welcomes a LEARN TO FLY FISH  on the Bow River !! Over the course of 4 to 5 hrs you  will the learn the skills to successfully Fly fish! All the equipment will be provided along with a mid day  BBQ for lunch. Every participant will get a lesson book, a fly starter pack and a certificate for a discounted float. You are welcome to stick around the remainder of day and put your skills to the test! Come spend the day by the river with us at our second Women’s Learn to Fly Fish event, put on by Bow River Fly Fishing Company. We will learn knot tying—yes, you’re going to tie your own knots. Fly casting: learn the basic fly cast on dry land, and then move to the water to practice. Fishing at the end of the day—showing you what to do with that rod and line after your cast hits the water. Reading water and how to fish it: learn where the fish are likely to be and why. How to rig your fly rod. All levels are welcome, but the course is designed for beginners. We encourage lots of questions, lots of tangles, and don’t be afraid to mess it up!

What’s Included: All equipment needed, guides/instructors, list of common flies, detailed lesson book for each participant, equipment recommendations (not affiliated with any manufacturers or fly shops), coupon for a discount on any of our offered float trips, BBQ lunch for the group.
