Youth fly fishing clubs
« on: February 23, 2006, 09:56:45 PM »
I got a call from the folks at Fly Fishing Canada asking for info on operating school based clubs or programs. I have been beating the bushes fro the last two weeks and found operating clubs at the following schools:

Heritage Woods Secondary (Coquitlam)
Pitt River Middle (Port Coquitlam)
Archbishop Carney (Port Coquitlam)
Westveiw School (Maple Ridge)
Garibaldi Secondary (Maple Ridge)

Ecole Mission Secondary (Mission) is offering fly fishing as a ellective credit this semester.

If you know of any school based clubs or programs on fly fishing, currently opperating in this province please respond. Thankyou.

So... you're graded based on quality of fish that you catch?  ;D

I see I have some readers. Good! I know you are tying to be funny Dragon and I appreciate that but I have to clarify some things here.

BC Fresh Water Lakes/Rivers: Fly Fishing 11 BAA offered at Mission Secondary is no joke. In fact it is the most exciting thing in youth fly fishing I have seen in 5 years.

The following is an exerpt from the course developed and taught by David Grochowich;

Rationle:
 To expand and make relevant the importance of our biosphere related to ecology, microbiology, entomology, and zoology covered in science 10 and biology 11.

 To promote recreational sport fly fishing and encouraging values of life long learning of our local ecology and conservation of both our environment and natural resources.

 To promote the value of proper outdoor education and safety while utilizing and sharing our natual parks and lakes of BC.

Sounds like quite an interesting course!  Sure would have beat a lot of the other options when I was in school.
