The Oswego County 4-H Program, part of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County will be offering an Introduction to Fly Fishing Program for youth. This Youth Fly Fishing Program is a series of four classes that will provide youth with the basic skills and understanding of Fly Fishing. The classes will begin with an introduction to the sport along with salmon and trout natural history lessons. Youth will learn how to assemble and cast a fly rod, tell the difference between wet and dry flies along with insect identification, and how to tie simple flies. The series includes at least two fishing excursions in Oswego County.

This Fly Fishing Program is open to youth 11 years of age and older. Because this program is based on the philosophy, “Learn by Doing”, space is limited to eight youth for this program. Participating youth do not need to own fly-fishing equipment; all gear and necessary supplies will be provided.

This Youth Fly Fishing Program is a collaboration between Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H and Trout Unlimited Chapter 589. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County provides equal program and employment opportunities. Please contact the office if you have any special needs.

Fee

The fee for this course is only $30.00.

Why 4-H?

The purpose of 4-H is twofold:

  1. To provide youth with fun hands-on educational experiences that will help them develop life skills such as confidence, leadership, cooperation, and responsibility.
  2. To provide interested parents and other adults with the opportunity to grow through working with youth.

Is 4-H for me?

Youth and adults alike will:

  • Have a good time through learning in new, enjoyable ways.
  • Make friends, belong to a group, give & receive acceptance and recognition.
  • Build self-confidence
  • Develop a desire to learn
  • Gain decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership skills
  • Become more interested in their community and the people in it
