ADULT EDUCATION & OUTREACH
OBTU ADULT “FLY FISHING FOR TROUT” COURSE
OBTU is excited to offer a new in-depth 4-week fly-fishing class for adults (18 and older). Participants will learn how to fish for trout in streams using a fly rod. All fly-fishing equipment and materials are provided by OBTU. The course includes three in-person classes on weekday evenings; self-study lessons, and on-the-water instruction during a weekend field trip to the Wisconsin Driftless Area. Self study includes reading and video assignments. Following the classes and self study, we will go fishing in the Wisconsin Driftless Area for 2 days. By the end, you will know how to fly fish for trout.
