UMass Fly Fishing Club

This Saturday at 1 PM, we will be holding a casting event, and the opportunity to fish to some brook trout at the old Cronin salmon rearing facility. Anyone who is interested comment and let us know! If transportation is an issue a few members can provide you with that. Outfits will be included, so you only have to bring your A-game. The pond is relatively small, so waders are unnecessary. We hope to see you there!!

Due to high winds this week we can not hold a 101 class, we will postpone for this weekend. Sorry guys, we just don't want your first experience to be anything less than awesome! Look out for a NEW event posting on Thursday.

The Fly Fishing 101 today will be postponed for tomorrow at 4:30-6 pm due to high wind gusts that would result in poor conditions for learning how to cast. Hope to still see all of you tomorrow!
