The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is providing a free Introduction to Fly Fishing Program on Sunday, July 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Zane Grey Museum, 135 Scenic Drive in Lackawaxen.

The four-hour educational program is designed for anyone 12 and older who is interested in learning the basics of fly-fishing (e.g. equipment needed, knot tying, casting and more). Participants will receive hands-on instruction from PFBC staff and instructors from the National Park Service.

It is a perfect opportunity to learn fly fishing basics and meet others interested in fly fishing. All equipment is provided and the fishing license requirement is waived for participants aged 16 and older. Pre-registration is required, as space is limited.

The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth’s aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities.
