Orvis Portland is offering a Intro to Fly Fishing Class. The class is designed for someone looking to get into fly fishing at an entry level. This class will cover basic casting & line management, knots & basic rigging, fly selection, and of course fishing with your newly learned skills.

The class is limited to 4 anglers, below is a list of what you will need for the workshop:

• Shoes that can get wet or water shoes (if you get into this, you will want waders and wading shoes with studs for optimal traction)
• Polarized sunglasses for eye safety and cutting the glare on the water
• Hat for protection from fly and fly line and also sun protection. 
  
• Optional camera
• Dress appropriately for the weather, and you will be doing some basic wading while you are fishing. "Wet" wading should be fine, and you can wear a bathing suit or wet wading pants and spf sun shirt.
  
• Optional wading staff can help people wade more safely.
