Our Spring Educational Program down at Lake in the Dunes is scheduled for April 15-17. We will be hosting 1, 2 and 3-day programs. The price did go up slightly this year based on our expenses hosting this amazing event. Included in the cost is 5-6 hours each day of instruction and 3-4 hours of “Fun Fish”. There will be more meals served this year too. This event has grown in popularity over the last couple years so for sure get signed up if you want to go. Those of you who have attended know what a great time it is. Those who haven’t should really try it out!
Dates- Friday, April 15 – Sunday, April 17
Each day we will run clinics from 10am-5pm with breaks for lunch and “Fun Fish” time.
Curriculum: Each day will consist of three clinics covering everything from basic casting biomechanics to distance casting to various rigging techniques for different presentations to entomology to “matching the hatch”. You can either try different clinics each session or work hardcore on casting one day and rigging the next. There will be as much instruction as you wish.
Cost- $150 per day or $400 for three days. Meals we be served Saturday and Sunday mornings and Friday and Saturday nights and are included in price.
Accommodations –You are welcome to bring a tent or trailer onto the property. There are n hook-ups, but the cabin is there to use as needed. The nights will most likely be chilly, but if you’re prepared, this is a great way to spend your time down there. We will make warm campfires over which there will no doubt be much story telling and laughter.
