Description
Join a local fly-fishing legend and learn the art of this gentle sport in a free workshop! This event is for ages 12-16 with parent/guardian. Both kids and their parents/guardians will be taught to fly fish during this course.
Fly rods, reels, flies, and stocking foot hip waders are provided. Attendees should bring suitable clothing, wading boots or shoes, a wide-brimmed hat (preferred), and sunglasses. Polarized lenses are recommended for fishing. Participants should also bring lunch and water.
All skill levels are welcome. Morning instruction will take place at Akers Ranger Station, with optional afternoon fishing on the upper Current River. (Afternoon fishing requires self-shuttle to attend. Park staff cannot provide transportation.)
Participants ages 16 and over must have a fishing permit. To keep trout, a trout permit and daily trout tag are also required. Visit the Missouri Department of Conservation permit page to find pricing and purchase information.
Reservation or Registration: Yes
