Learn fly fishing sessions

EAST LIVERPOOL — Ohio Valley Outdoors Magazine and local fly fisherman Craig Wetzel will present “Learn Fly Fishing” in three sessions — March 28 and April 4 and 11 — in East Liverpool.

Classes are 7 to 9 p.m. on three consecutive Tuesdays at the East Liverpool Area Community and Learning Center (located at the former Trinity Presbyterian Church) at 110 Maine Blvd.

Cost for the basic fly fishing instruction is $45 per person and must be paid in advance. The six hours (minimum) of instruction will cover needed equipment, fly casting instruction, flies, different techniques, finding fish and more. There will be prize drawings from local sponsors at the end of the three sessions for those who complete the series. A portion of the fee will be donated to the East Liverpool Area Community and Learning Center so organizers there may continue to offer their facilities, programs and opportunities to area residents.

“This series will be great for someone wanting to learn basic fly fishing techniques, ‘fly fishing 101’ if you will, or practice new techniques with someone who’s very experienced in fishing local streams,” OVO Publisher/Editor Larry Claypool said. “One of the best fly fishing streams in this region is Middle Beaver Creek, and Craig knows those waters as well as anyone.”

Register by calling the Ohio Valley Outdoors Magazine office at (330) 385-2243.
