All topics are covered, from equipment to fly casting. Equipment is furnished. Students only need to bring a notebook and pen.
Cost is a $25 tax-deductible donation to Reel Recovery.
The group will hold a white bass fly fishing tournament on April 26. Check-in is at 7 a.m. at Saddlebock Brewery, 18244 Habberton Road, in Springdale. Anglers may fish wherever they want, but must be back at the brewery by 3 p.m.
Measuring tapes are provided and anglers must take a photo of their fish on the tape. The longest white bass wins.
Food and refreshments will be served after the tournament. There will a fly-casting contest, prize drawings and auctions.
