INTRODUCTION TO FLY FISHING (ITFF)
STARTS ON FEBRUARY 3, 2024
If you have ever wanted to learn to fly fish, here is your chance - SPFF’s classes will take you step by step from your first cast to landing a beautiful trout on the Lower Owens River.
The classroom sessions are at the ONE GENERATION SENIOR CENTER, 18255 Victory Blvd. Reseda, CA 91335, and will cover everything from knot tying to choosing the correct flies.
At the park’s pond you will learn the essential casts to prepare you to fish in rivers, lakes and streams. SPFF supplies loaner rods and reels to get you started.
The classes are run by certified instructors and experienced Club members.
