OBTU Youth Fly Fishing “Train the Trainers” Event at Camp Sagawau

Anyone planning to volunteer to help with the youth fly fishing classes this summer should try to attend.  All OBTU members who may want to get involved in chapter Youth Education Programs are welcome to attend.  We will provide orientation for new volunteers, review and discuss programs with the existing volunteers, and look for ways to improve our programs going forward.

We will review:

• Youth Fly Fishing program.   We review the skills – knot tying, fly tying, casting, tackle assembly – that we must pass on to the students in these classes.   Link to 2026 Youth Fly Fishing Training Flyer
• We discuss current year plans for other OBTU youth education programs including Trout-In-The-Classroom and Stream Girls.
• We also discuss status of the IL Council Youth Conservation & Fly Fishing Camp which is a 6-day camp held on Michigan’s Au Sable River in late July each year.  Link to 2026 Youth Camp Details
• Provide briefing on OBTU’s new “Adult Fly Fishing for Trout” training course.  Link to 2026 “Adult Fly Fishing for Trout” Training Flyer
