February 2024 Stream Explorers Kick Off and Fly Fishing 101

Going into year two, we’re proud to continue our Stream Explorers youth group in 2024. This hands-on event series is family friendly, free and open to the public through the Western New York Chapter of Trout Unlimited. 

Throughout the course of the year we’ll teach you the basics of fly fishing, casting, fly tying, Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics as well as Keep Fish Wet catch and release techniques. We work with local professional anglers and guides as well as conservation professionals from NYS DEC and the decades of local knowledge possessed by our members who love nothing better than helping to shape the responsible anglers and conservationists of tomorrow.

 

 

We will start the year off  with the basics, learning about fly fishing, casting, gear and fly tying. You'll be able to tie a fly, get your hands on both practice and full size fly rods and try it on for size. Low key and at your own pace.
