Family Fishing Festival with Team USA

On August 15th at the historic Camp Hale, hosted at Nova Guides Lodge, families will have the opportunity to interact and learn from the best young flyfishers from around the world including the three-time defending gold medal winners of Team USA. Whether you are the next aspiring Team USA member or a first time angler, The Family Fly Fishing Festival has something for you.

 

Just as the World Youth Fly Fishing Championships bring together anglers from around the world, Colorado Trout Unlimited aims to bring our State together for the Family Fly Fishing Festival and Conservation Symposium. Youth of all ages and adults alike are invited to have some fun with the tournament’s competitors while learning some new skills along the way.
