Our second Generation Next Program is one that has been supported and
staffed by HPD
members for the past five years. This is the Acres Green Elementary
School Program for 6th
graders. To date, over 500 students have "graduated from this program.
Classes begin the
first week in April and go for five weeks. Each group learns to tiea SJ
Worm and a Wooly
Bugger and they also spend three days learning the pick-up and lay-down
cast and the roll
cast.
HPD Members..this is your chance to directly
help our next generation of fly fishers. Our first
Generation Next Program will be held at
National Jewish Hospital for students in the 6th
through eighth grades. The classes start on
March 2nd. Classes will be held every Mon and
Wed through March 23rd. Class times are 2-3:20
PM. If you can perform a pick-up and laydown
cast and a roll cast you are very qualified to
help out.
