This event will be limited to the first 60 youth participants to register, so don’t delay!
The Bay Area Youth Fly Fishers is a collaborative partnership of Bay Area Fly Fishing and Conservation organizations dedicated to enabling a new generation of fly fishers and conservation minded youth.
Girls and boys will be introduced to a sport they can enjoy for a lifetime with family and friends. The age range for this May event is narrow by design (2017-2018 school grades 4-7). It’s aimed at drawing younger families who value fun learning activities for their children and reward patience and practice. This event is the first in a year round program of activities with rewards designed to reinforce accomplishments and skills progression. Kids will learn about Fly Casting, Knots & Rigging, Fly Tying, and Conservation – all they’ll need to fish with family, friends, mentors and guides.
