Colorado Parks and Wildlife will host an introduction to fly fishing clinic just outside the town of Bailey, CO on May 26. Twenty adult beginners (Sixteen years and older) will spend half the day in classroom instruction, followed by hands-on application of these skills at a nearby river and ponds. Students will learn how to select the correct fly for the conditions and time of year, read the water, and improve their casting technique. The classroom sessions of the day will cover fish identification, rules and regulations, aquatic biology, fly selection, knot-tying, and general equipment setup and selection. All fly fishing equipment required for the class will be provided, however, if students have their own equipment that they would like to bring this is also acceptable but not necessary.

Come and enjoy a hands-on class to see the diet of an owl.

Come enjoy a rootbeer float and have a conversation with our rangers while enjoying the reservoir scenery.

Various live raptors and predatory birds will be available for you to see. Feel free to ask the handlers questions.

Come by the Visitor Center and pick up a Bingo sheet and have fun! Once you have completed your Bingo sheet you can turn it in to the Visitor Center and receive a prize.
