SEARSMONT — Did you know you can fish in the St. George River all year long, asked Georges River Land Trust, in a news release. Have you been curious about fly fishing, but don’t know where to begin? Or maybe you’re looking to freshen your casting and tying skills.

On Sunday, October 18, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., join Georges River Land Trust and Georges River Trout Unlimited for a beginner-friendly introduction to fly fishing, including hands-on fly tying and casting instruction.
