This Saturday and Sunday, volunteers from New Mexico Trout will conduct separate fly fishing clinics for youths and adults the Valle Caldera Preserve. Each clinic will allow up to 20 participants the opportunity to fish the headwaters of the East Fork of the Jemez River on the Preserve.

Participants spend half the day learning about equipment, tackle, knots, stream insect sampling and identification. They will have time to practice casting in the morning and then head for the fishing hole in the afternoon.

This activity is extremely popular, so sign up early. Registerr online for the youth clinic https:////ow.ly/xxrwe designed for 8-16 year olds or the Sunday adult clinic at https:////ow.ly/xxrU6, or register by calling the toll free number 866.382.5537.
