When driving Saturday morning, we will meet you outside the mill on the morning of the school and direct you to the classroom space. If lost call Kent[masked] or Bob[masked].
Class begins at 9 am Saturday morning with Kent Edmonds, Jake Darling and/or Bob Cain instructing. We'll spend most of the morning covering the basics of rods, reels, flies, lines and leaders. After classroom instruction we move to the grass lawn for instruction in casting basics.
Lunch will be on us at the locally renowned and nearby Hangry's A&E cafe, famous for their "dirty burgers".
After lunch return to the classroom to learn essential fly fishing knots. Once knotted up we head to the river for instruction on reading the water, casting on river water and "mending" your line to handle the variable currents after you cast. Then we finish the day on the water, putting new skills to work while fishing for big beautiful Soque River trout.
Sunday: Beginning at 9 am, depending on weather and water conditions, we'll fish at Unicoi Outfitters private trophy water on the Chattahoochee. We meet at Unicoi Outfitters fly shop just south of nearby Helen. We review the types of products sold in fly shops then rig up with rods and waders and hit the Chattahoochee for more on river experience over varied trout habitat.
All equipment (rods, reels, waders, boots, flies) is furnished but if you have your own equipment feel free to use it. Make sure to bring sun screen, a hat and polarized sun glasses.
Cost for the school is $450 per student. Sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fly-fishing-school-at-habersham-mill-tickets-41913260691
