4th Annual Fly Fishing Clinic & Swap Meet (Fly Fish-O-Rama)

[cmcculloch]

Are you interested in fly fishing and have questions about the equipment and techniques? How to use it? What is needed to get started? Want to try fly casting?

California Fly Fishers Unlimited and Fulton-El Camino Parks District invite you to join us for a day of fly fishing instruction and fun. This event is open to beginning fly fishers, or those more experienced. There will also be events for the kids - fish games and face painting. There is no charge for the event.

Classes will be available for fly fishing basics, fly casting instruction, fly tying, fishing knots, and water safety. Beginning fly tiers will learn to tie a woolly bugger fly that can be used for a wide variety of fish.

A fly fishing equipment swap meet goes from 9 to 11 am, and classes from 10 am to 3 pm. The location is Conzelmann Center at Howe Avenue Park, 2201 Cottage Way, Sacramento. A BBQ Hot Dog lunch, with chips and drink will be $4.

A map and more information are available at www.cffu.org. For more information call Jaden at 916-927-3802 or email me = cmcculloch at jps.net

Please pardon if this gets posted twice. I was encountering some technical difficulties.
