We are getting closer to spring every day! The days are getting longer; the weather, so far has been to our favor. Springs warming waters will bring life back to the rivers. Soon bugs will fill the air and fly lines will be cast and lines unfurled to deliver a fly to a feeding trout. I canât wait to get back on the river, rod in hand and digging on life.
If you are interested in learning the basics about fly fishing, tying flies, knots and fly casting, the Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout Unlimited is holding 3 days of fly tying lessons, and an evening of fly casting. All of the classes are FREE and everyone is welcome to join us.
