We will take our loaner fly rods and paddle out to a nearby sandbar. From there we'll get out of our kayaks and practice fly-casting in the waters surrounding the sandbar. This way we can stand up and still have plenty of room to practice our casting. Lunch at the picnic tables upon return.

FWC's Women's Fishing Clinic in Crystal River
Click here for description
Ft. Island Trail Park / 12073 W. Ft. Island Trail / Crystal River
Learn a hobby at free Women’s Fishing Clinic in Crystal River
Learn the skills to successfully cast your line into the sea by attending the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Women’s Fishing Clinic.
Participants will not only take home a lifelong hobby, they will leave with a new appreciation for the marine environment. They will learn the basics of environmental stewardship, fishing ethics, angling skills, safety and the vulnerability of Florida’s marine ecosystems in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.
The free, day-long clinic is from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Advance registration is required. To register or get more information, please email Heather Sneed at [email protected], or call 850-487-0554.
Lessons include knot tying, cast netting, rod and reel rigging, how to be a responsible marine resource steward, marine fish and habitat identification, catch-and-release techniques and more.
If conditions allow, women will have the opportunity to practice their newly learned skills by fishing from the shore. This event is a catch-and-release activity. All participants must have a valid recreational saltwater fishing license unless exempt. Saltwater fishing licenses can be purchased at your local tackle shop or online. Learn more by visiting MyFWC.com/License.
Fishing equipment and bait will be provided during the clinic, but participants are encouraged to bring their own gear.
