Description

INTRODUCTION TO FLY FISHING – Class Limit 12 by Trey Wall 

Cost: $20 

The Southern Appalachians provide a wide array of outdoor recreational activities, not the least of which is fly fishing. Here in North Georgia trout conveniently inhabit nearby creeks and rivers. This sport provides a great medium to explore the waters around us and teaches us new skills in the outdoors. In this class, we will break down the mysteries of fly fishing through classroom discussions and hands-on applications. There will be three 2-hour in class sessions starting January 18th. Classroom topics will include the gear involved, discussion of techniques, knots, fly tying, and the planning of an outing. An outdoor session will cover casting instruction. Born and raised in Georgia, Trey developed a passion for the outdoors at an early age. Whether it was catching bluegill on a dock, chasing deer in the woods, or building a stick fort, there was never enough outdoor time. Trey’s first introduction to fly fishing came when he moved to the Appalachian Mountains of North Georgia to attend Young Harris College. He quickly fell in love with the art of fly fishing, and it became easier to find him on a river rather than in a class. Being able to explore the Southern Appalachians was such a gift. Wanting to continue to pursue fly fishing, Trey attended Vail Valley Anglers Guide School in Edwards, Colorado in 2017. Currently, Trey Guides for Two Rivers fishing Company in Pinedale, Wyoming in the Summer months and for his own business in North Georgia during the Fall and Spring.
