Want to learn how to fly-fish? Here’s your chance – a class taught by an Idaho expert 

Idaho is one of the top fly-fishing states in the nation. Whether you want to sight-cast to rising fish in a blue-ribbon trout stream or feel the power of a Snake River smallmouth bass demolishing a streamer pattern, the Gem State has you covered!

If you’d like to learn the unique ropes of fly-fishing, here’s your chance! My next Tight Lines 208 fishing class, Learning to Fly, offers an entry-level overview of all things fly-fishing. We will cover gear, strategies, species, locations and more, including hands-on, professional casting instruction!

Learning to Fly is set for Wednesday, May 18, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Boise Spectrum. This class sells out quickly – register early to secure your spot! For more information or to sign up, visit www.tightlines208.com. I look forward to seeing you there. Tight lines!

Jordan Rodriguez has been fishing Idaho waters since he was a teen. Share your fish stories, adventures and questions with him at tightlinesboise@gmail.com, or visit www.tightlines208.com for the latest local fishing reports and upcoming class offerings.
