Come spend a weekend of intense fly fishing instruction for Scouts, parents and leaders. Learn to cast, set up your rod and reel, and understand the nature of fly fishing. With a private lake and easy casting environment, Camp Tahosa is one of the best places to learn how to fly fish. Identify different types of wet and dry flies, learn about the entomology of the area, the bugs and creatures that fish eat and how you can effectively mimic their movements. All equipment is provided to learn to fish: rods, reels, leader, tippet, and a half dozen flies. For those interested, you can work on the requirements of the Fly Fishing Merit Badge. Learn to tie your own flies as well!
“Get Hooked on Camp Tahosa” is located at the Denver Area Council’s high adventure training base, Camp Tahosa, at the foot of the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. Approximately 20 miles northwest of Boulder, Colorado, the camp’s 300 acres of woodland sits at 9,000 feet in elevation. With comfortable sleeping arrangements, hearty meals prepared by the Fishing Camp Staff, and a weekend filled with fun, what more could you ask?
Requirement: Due to the nature of the fly fishing sport, we request the Scouts be First Class rank or above or 12 years old by January 1, 2009. At least 50% of the group must be youth members, however adults are more than encouraged to participate and help, learn and experience!
Fees: $80 per participant ($60 for LDS program). Reserve your weekend with non-refundable deposit of $40 per participant. Balance will be due 30 days prior to your weekend.
