Anglers wanting to explore the intricacies of fly fishing are invited to a beginner fly-fishing class 9-10:30 a.m. Sunday, March 7, at Bridgeland’s Oak Meadow Park.

This is one of several community events that will be open to the public this year.

The class will include hands-on casting instruction on both a group and individual basis; how to present an artificial fly to trout, bass and saltwater species; and how to hook and land a fish. Also on the agenda are how to make basic fishing knots and how to assemble a fly-fishing outfit.

Fly rod equipment will be provided and participants should dress comfortably and wear a cap and sunglasses.

Cost for the class is $35 for residents and $40 for non-residents. The class is for individuals ages 10 and up, although children under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent at all times. Register online at www.bridgelandlife.com/registrationpop.asp
