The three-day class events, scheduled twice a year, cover equipment used in fly fishing, entomology (aquatic bugs), fly tying, common flies, knots used in fly fishing, safety and resources. The art of fly casting by certified instructors with class and equipment included.
Fly fishing is therapeutic and benefits all who attend, ranging in ages and backgrounds, including those with PTSD and mental and physical disabilities. To be in a serine setting connected to nature is therapeutic while developing a new interest.
Trout Unlimited Cohutta Chapter provides these classes free of charge in appreciation for their service while at the same time sharing their passion for fishing.
After completing the three-day class, the attendees experience fly fishing on the beautiful upper Etowah River in north Georgia. This life-changing experience builds memories to last a lifetime.
