What is the NEW
Fishing Club about?

Have you ever wanted to know what fly fishing is all about? The Adirondack Reelers 4-H Fly Fishing Club will introduce youth to the history of fly fishing, equipment, and tying flies. Youth will learn how to identify fish and how fish live. The club will teach youth about the importance that the watershed, rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds have on our environment. Youth will learn by doing exciting hands-on projects and take fun
field trips.
