Join us for Fly Fishing Events at The Avid Angler Seattle, WA



June 21st Sage Casting Clinic Once again, we will be offering our popular casting clinic and BBQ all day on Saturday, June 21st from 9:30am until 3:00pm at Lake Forest Park Elementary in Lake Forest Park (at Ballinger Way and 37th Ave NE, west of the mall). George Cook from Sage Rods will join us with a quiver of Sage rods, so if there is a stick that you have been itching to cast, this would be a great day to do it. Several Avid Angler staff will be on hand to assist with the casting instruction. August 23rd Puget Sound Saltwater Jamboree Join us at Richmond Beach County Park just south of Edmonds for a Saturday of exploring the abundant fishery right off the beach in Puget Sound. This is our 4th year for this event and it is the highlight of the summer. The event will last all day and will include clinics on fishing techniques, fly tying and casting for sea-run cutthroat and salmon. A BBQ lunch is included. Registration details will follow shortly.

Join us on Saturday, May 24th at 9am for a FREE clinic on fishing the Cedar River. The river opens on June 1 and Ryan Smith, who fishes and guides on the Cedar, and Dylan Rose, who fishes the river regularly, will give a clinic on how to improve your chances for success. Ryan will tie a few favorite patterns and both anglers will discuss fishing techniques. Mark your calendar for this one and get here early as seating will be limited.
