The Missouri Department of Conservation will share the basics on fly fishing, including the history of the sport, specialized tackle, and how to cast.

Participants will get an opportunity to learn about fly tying and they’ll also be able to put their new skills to use, fishing in the city’s stocked trout pond.

Lunch is included with registration. Since this fishing workshop is naturally being held outside, appropriate fishing attire is strongly encouraged.

Fly rods will be available for use. Registrants to whom fishing license laws apply must have a valid fishing license, which are usually available at places that sell fishing equipment and Walmart.
