Concord, NH – Registration is now open for an exciting day of fly fishing with the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program. The day-long course takes place on Saturday, May 15, in Hillsborough, NH. The cost for the workshop is $70, which includes instruction, most equipment, and the opportunity to bring home two fish. Participants should pack their own food and drinks. We’ll let you know what else to bring once you’ve registered.
Participants can register online now at www.nhbow.com. Registration is first-come, first-served and space is limited. All participants must be 18 years of age or older.
The objective of this hands-on course is to help attendees move towards independence as fly anglers. Some of the topics that will be covered include: the finer points of casting including accuracy, timing, and shooting the line; reading the water; picking the proper fly and knowing how to cast it; what to do when you catch a fish; and ethics. Participants will have the opportunity to fish still water on this outing on a stocked pond, and will be allowed to keep two fish of the proper size. Attendees do not need to supply their own rod and reel. A fishing license is not required during scheduled class time.
This day of introductory fly fishing will be hosted by New England Upland in Hillsborough, NH. To learn more about this beautiful facility visit http://newenglandupland.com/.
