The Santa Clarita Casting Club, Santa Clarita’s only fly-fishing club, is sponsoring a first-ever “Introduction to Fly Fishing” class for women of all ages on Saturday, June 3, 2023, at Chesebrough Park, 23505 Sunset Hills Drive in Santa Clarita.
The class, which runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 p.m., is $25 per person and features instruction in casting, fly tying, entomology, knot tying, equipment, and conservation. Lunch, as well as a warm-up yoga class, is also provided as part of the session.
To keep the class & groups small for the best learning, there are only 42 spots!
“We’ve seen a surge of interest in fly fishing-traditionally viewed as a man’s sport-by women over the last few years,” says past President and spokeswoman for the Casting Club, Connie Bullock. “As such, we want to leverage off of that interest by providing women with an introduction to the fun, the challenge, and the benefits of this great sport. Women have demonstrated an almost uncanny ability to excel at fly fishing within a relatively short time after being introduced to it, hence my challenge to women to see for themselves just what fly fishing has in store for them.”
Saturday’s seven-hour session will consist of six stations-all taught by certified instructors and fly tyers with years of experience in all phases of fly fishing. In addition, there will be raffles and prizes for the participants. Please come and join current President, Jamie Barber, and Connie Bullock on this wonderful journey.
