Learn to Fly Fish
The Saco River, in southern Maine, is just minutes from the beaches and shopping malls. Our classroom is a 16-foot, 50th Anniversay Edition Alumacraft and our day of instruction will be along nine miles of scenic freshwater. Students are usually impressed by the relative wilderness settingof this section of the Saco. It's difficult to believe that the heart of Maine's busiest tourist industry is just a few miles away. Wildlife watchers will not be disappointed. Our class begins within sight of a pair of nesting Bald Eagles and along the way you could see deer, moose, wild turkeys and waterfowl.
