2012 Flygirls Beginning Fly Fishing School

at Fullers North Branch Outing Club, Grayling, MI.
Flygirls is again offering a comprehensive two and a half day school set on the pristine banks of the famed Au Sable River.
This is a women’s school, with women instructors, “women, teaching women.” The school will touch on all of the aspects of fly fishing including: fly casting techniques, gear and tackle, fly selection, river etiquette and safety, knots and rigging, entomology and reading the water.
Flygirls offers a low student to teacher ratio of 2:1. Tuition is $425 and includes lodging, meals, workbook, flies and all instruction.
The school is being limited to 10 students, so if you are interested plan to register early. A $200 deposit will hold your space (and all but $25 will be refundable up to 60 days before the school starts).
