DUNSMUIR, CA-- On Sunday, August 21st, the River Exchange is hosting their "Introduction to Fly Fishing" Clinic on the grounds of beautiful Dunsmuir City Park, from 10am to 2pm. The clinic is a great way to be introduced to the river for anyone interested in learning about fly fishing.

With the help of other fly fishing volunteers, Wayne Eng, local fly fishing guide and river lover, will lead the clinic with lecture and demo instruction on various aspects of fly fishing in the Upper Sacramento River. Topics covered will include river history, casting techniques, reading the river and more.

Wayne Eng has taken hundreds of people on the water to hone their skills, from beginners to experts. "The "Zen" of fly fishing is that you place yourself completely into the moment, using all of your senses and skills to be effective," says Wayne. "No matter what skill level you are, being able to immerse yourself in the art of fly fishing in such a beautiful setting is magical and inspiring."

Cost of admission is $35 per person, which is used to fund the River Exchange's watershed education programs. Space for this clinic is limited; call the River Exchange at (530) 235-2012 or email them at mail@riverexchange.org to make your reservation.

The River Exchange is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting healthy watersheds through community involvement in stewardship, restoration and education. For more information about the River Exchange, visit www.riverexchange.org.
