This year’s Fly Fishing Clinic, sponsored jointly by Kiap-TU-Wish and River Falls Parks and Recreation, is set for Saturday, June 1st, from 1:00-9:00pm in Glen Park, River Falls. We’ve been conducting this clinic for years and we know that it’s always popular; we expect about twenty students. The clinic will cover casting, knot tying, entomology, fishing strategies and wading safety. The Chapter will provide supper during a break at 5:00pm, and guided fishing in the evening.
Our chapter members are invited to join us as instructors, mentors, guides and supper servers. Mark your calendars for June 1st and volunteer by contacting Mike Alwin at mikealwin@gmail.com or Brian Smolinski at brian@lundsflyshop.com. I guarantee you’ll have fun.
