Come enjoy the day in the heart of the Cascades beside the beautiful Metolius River. Learn the basics of fly fishing: tying the knots, reading the water, matching the hatch (matching the fly you fish with to the bugs present on or in the water), and casting techniques. The morning is spent putting these four elements together and the afternoon is spent fishing on the settlement pond at Wizard Falls. Must have current Oregon Fishing License.
