Fly Fishing Mountain Streams Workshop - 09.26

Sat, Sep 26, 2026 at 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM

Event Details

Ever wanted to unlock the mystery of fly fishing and learn how to pursue the wild trout of Rocky Fork? Join park rangers for a three- to four-hour workshop designed for absolute beginners.

Participants will learn basic fly-casting techniques, how to select the right fly, and which pieces of fishing gear are necessary and which ones you may not need. Fly rods will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own equipment.

Participants who plan to fish must have the appropriate Tennessee fishing license and trout privileges, as required by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. A fishing license is not required to attend the workshop or participate in the instructional portions.

Fishing license information and purchasing options are available at:
