Greenwells Fly Fishing Club is offering to teach the art of “stalking fish”.
Secretary Russell Hook said the club was casting a net far and wide for new members and hoped to reel people in to try the challenging skill.
“It’s a lot harder than normal fishing and not as productive,” he said.
“It’s a bit of walking up and down stream but it’s very much a craft and you do it for the great satisfaction you get when you catch a fish.”
The course at Greenfield Park on March 14 and 19 is open to anybody interested.
“Then we have a weekend away on the Mitta River where people can demonstrate what they’ve learnt,” Mr Hook said.
He said it was a good skill to learn and a way to interact with like-minded people.
“The group has been so successful because of the enjoyment people get out of socialising,” he said.
