Schedule for 2010
Unless otherwise indicated, all meetings are held at the Loyalhanna Watershed office in Ligonier.
This schedule is subject to change due to weather and other factors.
The 2010 FTTU First Cast Youth Fly Fishing and Conservation Group is now underway so enrollment is closed for this year.
The program includes instruction in fly tying, fly casting, knot tying and fishing techniques. The kids also learn about trout biology and behavior, stream ecology, conservation and angling ethics.
The program is open to boys and girls aged 12 through 16 and there is a nominal fee of $20 to help cover expenses. Check back in November to find out how to get registered for next year's class.
