Women’s Intro to Fly Fishing Class, June 27 (National Women’s Fly Fishing Day!)
3-hour Classroom Instruction: This free class will be extremely beneficial before getting on the water, as it will help to build confidence, learn as a group and to maximize time on the water during the 101/201 courses. This course is recommended, but not required to attend the 101 and 201 courses. You can expect an introductory presentation, hands-on knot tying practice, and information on how to purchase the right gear.
Location: TBD

Course cost:
The June 27 classroom course is free to all attendees with a suggested $10 donation to support SheJumps’ mission of increasing the participation of women and girls in the outdoors.
The river courses are $160 each, with scholarship options available. These courses typically cost $200-$230, but because of the generous support of Immerse Fly Fishing and a Nature and Human Health Utah grant, they are available to the SheJumps community at a reduced rate of $160 per course. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in scholarship opportunities.
Part of the grant arrangement enables this course series to be used for research on the benefits of all-women outdoor recreation programs. Please note that a University of Utah PhD candidate will be observing the courses, interviewing course participants, and conducting pre- and post-course surveys to support this research.
