Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Parks & Recreation Fly Fishing 101 class finished up on Tuesday, but not before catching a few!! The middle school students under the instruction of Nicole March and with help from some volunteers from East Jersey Trout Unlimited, caught 2 sunnies and a rainbow trout (catch and release). The six week program taught the basics of casting, tying knots, learning parts of the stream and what bugs the fish like to eat. The next Fly Fishing 101 class will be taught in the spring and a few fly tying workshops will be hosted over the winter. Space is limited.
