Missoula’s 23rd Annual Women’s’ Fly Fishing Clinic
This Clinic is all-encompassing and good for first time and beginner fly fishers alike. Students will acquire the ability to assess and adjust their own casts in the first hour. In addition to practicing fishing techniques on water, participants will learn about stream and lake entomology, reading water and tying essential knots. Another key component of the clinic is the teaching about the differences in equipment, dispelling myths and revealing how to find best values available. Combine all that with practice playing, landing and releasing fish and the clinic puts students in a great position to begin a lifelong journey of enjoyable days on the water.
Saturday, June 17th from 10am to 3pm ~ The Blackfoot River
Cost: $150 (includes lunch, gear and a t-shirt)
The funds raised in this clinic directly benefit the recipients of Montana Natural History Center’s youth camp scholarships.

The intermediate and advanced angler class is for anyone who wants to fish locally or for salt species that may require an entirely different approach. Learning objectives include single and double haul techniques, hook sets and use of fluorocarbon. This two hour class includes fishing tips galore and is the perfect follow-up to the introductory curriculum.
A couple’s fishing class offers a supportive way for partners to enjoy learning together. This two hour class is designed to reduce tension in both casts and relationships simultaneously!

Participants will leave with effective casting and fishing techniques and an understanding of essential entomology.
