Dallas Fly Fishers Basic Certification Class
Fly-Fishing Pavilion
The Dallas Fly Fishers will offer morning and afternoon classes on choosing fly-fishing equipment, performing the basic four-part cast, identifying aquatic insects (what fish eat), freshwater ecology, useful fishing knots, safety, ethics and fly-tying. Those who complete the class will receive basic fly-fisher certification. The classes are free, but pre-registration is required, because class size is limited to 25.
