Here’s your chance to find out why people fall in love with fly fishing. Newcomers to the “quiet sport” will be taught how to cast, identify different types of flies and hook, play and handle fish on the fly rod – all while enjoying time on a serene Haliburton Lake.
Things to note: Two people maximum, corporate groups can be arranged. Participants must have a valid fishing licence. Polarized glasses and a hat is also advised.
