Cleveland Metroparks is partnering with the Trout Club of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to inspire families to try fly fishing. Spend 2-hours making memories as a family as you learn how to cast, hook, play, land, and release fish. Families will leave with their very own copy of
The Orvis Kid’s Guide to Fly Fishing book. Typically, a Fishing license is required for guests 16 & over; however, there is an exemption for Cleveland Metroparks programs on Astrohurst Pond, so you do not need a license for this program. Fly rods and reels will be provided. Feel free to bring your own equipment. The entire program will be spent outside; please dress appropriately for the weather. Dressing in non-cotton layers is encouraged. Reference the
3Ws of layering for more information about how to dress. Classes will begin promptly, so plan to arrive early. Please bring a completed
waiver and review the
participant equipment list.
