Aquatic Insects of Connecticut Fly Tying Workshop
The Connecticut State Museum of Natural History is excited to once again be collaborating with the Connecticut Fly Fisherman’s Association (CFFA) and the UConn Biodiversity Research Collections (BRC) to hold our Aquatic Insects of Connecticut Fly Tying Workshop!
Fly fishing experts will guide participants in constructing lures that mimic the shapes and behaviors of Connecticut’s aquatic insects, and entomologists will uncover the biology and ecology of insects and their role as an important food source for fish in local rivers like the Fenton, Farmington, and Willimantic.
Participants are encouraged to use their new skills and lures with subsequent participation in the CFFA’s educational programs of casting and advanced tying.
*** Space is limited and registration is required! ***
$15 for Museum Members
$20 for non-Members
Registration fee includes all materials to create 3 unique flies.
Participants aged 12 – 16 must be accompanied by a chaperone.
