I just got an e-mail from Ann Miller letting me know:
The State is sponsoring a Free class for experienced fly fishers who want to introduce fly fishing to young Texans and share their love of the outdoors with the next generation. If y'all are interested, please read the attachments below.

This FREE course will equip adults to

I'd love to teach kids how to fly fish. I love fishing with my kids. I suppose I'd actually have to know how to fly fish though before taking that course. Or just catch a fish. :roll:

This is a great program for both the instructors and the kids.
It's geared more to introducing the kiddos to the experience, rather than the technical aspects. I think you would be a fine instructor.
Go for it Man!!!!!!!

I received an email from Ann Miller. I signed up and there are still spots open if anyone else wants to get in. It's completely free and she says to bring your rod if you want to do some flyfishing after class.
