It's not often all of these teammates can be found in the same spot, but it just so happens they're all in town for a competition and thought this would be a great chance to put on an awesome event for you! Even if you have no interest in competing, the skills being taught will be of huge value to any angler.
10am - 12pm: join us for a free introduction to stillwater (lake/pond) trout fishing techniques. Ontario is rich with trout lakes that are easily accessible and produce big trout! Many anglers avoid fishing lakes because they don't know where to start, in this class all 4 instructors will break down how to find fish, flies to use, leader setups, and all other info you need to start taking advantage of these fisheries!
12:30pm - 2pm: In the afternoon choose from one of three different sessions including casting tune ups, adding distance to your cast and double hauling, or euro nymphing! Class descriptions found below.
Casting Tune Ups - Ian Troup - Max 10 Anglers
This is your chance to shake off that rust before kicking off your season! Certified casting instructor Ian Troup will be offering casting tune ups for any level of angler!

Adding distance to your cast - Morgan McLean & Chris Krysciak - Max 20 Anglers
Instructors Morgan McLean and Chris Krysciak will be offering a course on techniques to increase your casting distance, including learning to double haul. Being able to cast where you want when you want is essential for improving anyone's angling! This course is suited to folks who have some level of casting experience, if you've spent a couple days fly fishing, you should have no issue joining in!
