The Carihi Fly Fishing Program for grades 10-12 is designed to cultivate a love for the outdoors while integrating essential educational components! This unique program blends the art and sport of fly fishing with literacy, entomology, and conservation education. It's a comprehensive learning experience that promises to engage students in hands-on activities, foster a deeper connection with nature, and encourage responsible environmental stewardship.

At the heart of our program is the sport of fly fishing itself, an activity that teaches patience, precision, and mindfulness. Students will learn the intricacies of casting techniques, knot tying, and fly selection.

Moreover, our program emphasizes literacy and entomology, enriching students' academic journey. Participants will delve into the fascinating world of aquatic insects, understanding the life cycles and habitats of the creatures that fish feed on. This knowledge not only enhances their fishing prowess but also fosters a deeper appreciation for biodiversity. Additionally, we incorporate reading and writing assignments related to fishing literature, scientific research, and conservation efforts. By exploring texts ranging from classic fishing tales, First Peoples texts as well as  contemporary environmental studies, students will develop critical thinking skills and a broader understanding of ecological issues.
