Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Let’s Go Fishing Program will be hosting two different “Fly Fishing A–Z” workshops this spring. These 2-day programs are designed primarily for first-time fly anglers. Instruction will cover the basics such as equipment, fly casting, stream ecology, knot tying, safety, and fish identification. The highlight of these events happens on Sunday when the groups transition from the classroom onto the water at a local fishing pond to put their new skills to use.

Participants are required to attend both days of this no-cost program. All equipment is provided. No fishing license is necessary to participate.

Register online to reserve your spot today. These classes are open to anyone age 13 or older. Participants age 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Class space is limited, and registration is first-come, first-served.

• Gunstock Mountain Resort, Gilford, NH—Saturday, May 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday, May 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Registration is now open.
