Help starting flyfishing at Boyertown High School

[alieb]

I am a teacher at Boyertown High School and teaching Fly Fishing for the first time. I have rods and reels and was wondering if there is anyone who ever does outreach to teach youth about fly-fishing.

Hi Adam. Welcome to PaFlyFish and thanks for helping get our next generation of kids interested in the outdoors. As for outreach, many local sportsmen's clubs have youth programs or field days and many Trout Unlimited chapters have similar programs. Cumberland Valley TU started the Rivers Conservation and Youth Camp some years ago and this has become something of a model for top notch youth programs. TU also sponsors "Trout in the Classroom" in which kids raise fingerling trout in their school in fish tanks and release 'em later.
Good luck with your program.

I am going to tell you to contact Rise Fishing Company out of New York, they are very generous and are huge supporters of these kinds of programs. They have already told me once I become a teacher to contact them and they will donate a bunch of stuff for me to start an after school program.

I think if anybody is looking for a new Salt rod reasonable priced they should support this company.
