• THE FLY FISHING CLINIC (starting at 12pm) will be led by Joel Brown, head guide at the Speckled Trout Outfitters. This is a free clinic which includes equipment and instruction. Participants will be required to get an NC fishing license on their own beforehand. The clinic will take place post-ride. The clinic will start at the Herrick Pavilion at VCCP with instruction and casting practice before moving to the river. RSVP to Joel if you plan to join the fly fishing clinic. If you are already a fly fisherman you are also welcomed to join in on the fun!

Jumping into a cool mountain stream after a bike ride is a great way to cool off and recover your legs. Pairing a wade in a stream with fly fishing makes a great ride even better!
