Casting Class set for September 26th

The Dry Side Fly Fishing Club will be hosting a “Learn to Fly Fish” event on Saturday, September 26th at 10 AM in Cascade Park. This event will focus on teaching beginners how to cast a fly rod and what the differences are between fly fishing and conventional spin fishing or baitcasting.
Certified Casting Instructor, Matt Paluch, will be teaching the group lessons that start at 10 AM. Then Matt along with the other club members will provide personal help to attendees during a hands-on practice session. Matt is the editor of “Fly Fishing Life Magazine,” an worldwide publication focused on fly fishing and a nationally ranked competitive fly caster. After the beginning classes are completed, Matt will be available for more advanced lessons and possibly a distance and accuracy demonstration/competition.
