Deerfield Fly Shop will be hosting a Womens Fly Fishing Class June 28th from 7am-4pm. The class will be taught by Marla Blair Professional Guide, Instructor and author of Positive Fly Fishing. Marla will start off by covering the basics first here at the shop and continue with time on the water in the afternoon if conditions allow. Equipment will be provided and students are required to wear long pants(no shorts), a warm pair of socks, hat, polarized sun glasses, rain coat and sun screen. Coffee and muffins will be provided in the morning and students are asked to bring a lunch. This is an extensive beginner fly fishing class that will give you the confidence and skills you need to get out on the water and start catching fish. The cost of the class is $195.00 and is limited to 4 students. A deposit of $100.00 is required at sign up to reserve your spot. Please call the shop at 413-397-3665.
