Description: 
Fly-Fishing A to Z @ your Library!

This workshop series offers a chance to learn about the traditional and timeless sport of fly-fishing.  The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s “Let’s Go Fishing” Program is pairing up with the Keene Public Library to host “Fly-Fishing A-Z” on Thursday evenings in August.There is no charge for the class.

 

The class is open to anyone age 13 and over, however those 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.  Class space is limited, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.  To sign up, please call the Keene Public Library at 603-352-0157.

 

Designed primarily for first-time fly-fishers, the workshop will cover the basics of equipment, fly casting, stream ecology, knot tying, safety and how to find those “hot spots” along New Hampshire’s rivers and lakes.  The highlight of the series will be on Saturday, August 28, when we'll pull on our waders and head out to a local fishing hole to put our newly learned skills to the test!  Participants should plan to bring their own or borrowed equipment.  A limited number of rods will be available for use; when you register, please let the Library know if you will need to borrow equipment.

6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at Heberton Hall (located next to Keene Public Library) ****The Workshop on Aug. 26 will be held in the KAY FOX room in Keene Public Library****
