Learn to Fly Fish

Youth Cycling Camp

Our adult fly fishing class will teach you everything you need to know if you ever wanted to fly fish. Learn how to set up your rod and reel from line to fly, equipment needs, and knot tying. We’ll also dive into fish identification and their habitat, aquatic insects, and recommendations on flies. We’ll discuss setup and fishing with streamers, nymph’s, and dry flies as well as learn what fish feed on, keys to successful fly fishing, and “hands-on” casting practice. Plan to bring your fly rod/reel for all sessions. The Saturday session will be determined during class. *We highly recommend having your fishing license prior to the beginning of the first class*

Billings Parks and Recreation, in partnership with Kids In Motion, will be providing a new Cycling Camp geared toward navigating cycling in all aspects. Safety instruction will be emphasized, along with proper bike maintenance and care. Throughout the course of camp, participants can expect to gain confidence and experience new thrills on the bike, learn to use their bikes for transportation, and learn to safely navigate the many different types of terrain that Riverfront Park has to offer. Kids In Motion will be providing each camper with a basic tool kit and help show campers how to use these tools. Come get your bike running properly and keep it that way! Participants are expected to have their own bike, helmet, and water bottle. Helmets are required. Scholarships available see page 77 for details.
