Youth Fly Fishing Program
June 10, 17, 24, and July 1 2024
Youth Fly Fishing Program is a series of four classes that will provide youth with the basic skills and understanding of fly fishing. The classes will begin with an introduction to the sport along with salmon and trout natural history lessons. Youth will learn how to assemble and cast a fly rod, tell the difference between wet and dry flies along with insect identification, and how to tie simple flies. The series includes at least two fishing excursions in Oswego County.
Classes will be held Monday nights, June 10th , 17th , 24th and July 1st at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County. Classes will run from 6:00 pm-8:30 pm. Youth Fly Fishing Program is open to youth 11 years of age and older. Because this program is based on the philosophy, “Learn by Doing”, space is limited for this program. The maximum number of youth that will be accepted into the program is 8.
Youth Fly Fishing Program is a collaboration between Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H and Trout Unlimited Chapter 589.
There is a $30.00 fee for this course. Participating youth do not need to own fly fishing equipment. All gear, and supplies necessary for the fishing course will be provided. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County provides equal program and employment opportunities.
