There will also be fly tying demos, raffles, drawings, and a beginner's booth. Admission is free. Join the fun at the Holiday Inn on Southside from 12 non to 5:30 p.m.

The second event is a Fly Fishing School on March 17th at Hartwick College. This classroom and hands-on instruction will begin at 9: a.m. and run until 4 p.m. The seminar will be held in Room 201 of the Johnstone Science Building and gym. Cost is $30 at the door and you should bring a lunch. If you ever wanted to learn fly fishing, this is a great opportunity to get started.
