present FLY FISHING BASICS
The Minnesota Fly Fishers, a Twin Cities based club, will offer their 31st annual weekend introduction to the fun and enjoyment of fly fishing again on April 22 & 23, 2017.
Note: We are now full for the 2017 class, with another dozen on the waiting list.
We only offer the class once a year, but if you'd like to be first in line for our Spring 2018 class, please go ahead and register now. Your name will go on the waiting list in the order we receive it.

We've got plenty of skilled instructors. With focused sessions and several hours of casting practice, students easily learn the basics of this engaging sport. The $75 tuition for this class includes two days of instruction, use of our gear, handouts, and workshop materials.
Topics Include:
What About Gear?
We provide rods & reels for use during the class - no need to bring your own unless you want to. In fact, if you don't have gear, wait until after you take the class! We'll help you select the right gear for the type of fish you want to pursue.
There's not a better value in fly fishing instruction!
Start yourself, your spouse, a child, or a friend on a lifetime sport. Let the Minnesota Fly Fishers introduce you to the fun and adventure of fly fishing.
When and where?
The next class will be held rain or shine on a Saturday & Sunday in April of 2017, at the Lynnhurst Community Center, located in South Minneapolis at 1345 Minnehaha Pkwy. W. We'll have loaner equipment available if you need it.
