Notes regarding these classes:
• Everyone is asked to bring their own fly fishing equipment to outdoor classes. Participants in the beginner's classes may not own equipment; we are asking beginners to try to borrow a friend’s rod if they don't have one. We have a few “loaner” rods and please make a note on the registration form if you need gear.
• These classes are being offered to WSC members only and are being taught by WSC members at no charge. Please refrain from inviting non-members to these classes.
• And, most importantly, thanks to John Tani, Bruce Henderson, Tim Hess, Al Simpson, and Mike Fisher for offering their talent, time, and patience to instruct our classes.
