The class is open to women 18 and older. For details and registration, contact Kris Holinka at 970-725-6200. Space is limited.
“These classes fill quickly, so we encourage everyone to call today,” said District Wildlife Manager and instructor Jeromy Huntington of Granby. “There is much to learn if you want to participate on your own and this is one of the best ways to get started.”
Huntington adds that no experience or equipment required; however, bringing snacks, water, sunscreen, insect repellent and any other personal supplies is recommended.
A fishing license is required; however a one-day fishing license is acceptable.
There is a $20 charge that will cover lunch, snacks and water.
