THE 2010 ACADEMY – Applications are now being accepted for the 2011 Northwest Youth Conservation and Fly Fishing Academy. To qualify for The Academy, the applicant, boy or girl, 12-16 years old, must edit an essay explaining why they want to attend the Academy and a letter of recommendation is required from their school counselor or science teacher. The dates for the WSCFFF and WCTU sponsored event are June 19-25, 2011. The Academy will be held at The Grinwood Conference Center on Hicks Lake in Lacey, WA. To learn more about the Academy, go to www.nwycffa.org. The application is available on our website or contact Mike Clancy @ nwycffa@earthlink.net. Sponsorships are available. This is a life rewarding experience for our youth to learn conservation and the basics of fly fishing from dedicated volunteers. Mike Clancy, Co-Director, NWYCFFAcademy
My take: this is an outstanding program and a ton of fun for the kids and the volunteer instructors.

- First fly-caught fish was a trout on a Brown Bivisible 50 years ago. Aside from some years foolishly spent playing golf, I've been fishing ever since.
