If you have ever wanted to try your hand at fly-tying and fly-casting, the Maine Wildlife Park on Route 26 in Gray is the place to be on Saturday, May 21, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Members of the Sebago Chapter of Trout Unlimited will demonstrate and invite participation from kids and parents alike to learn these popular fishing arts. Several teenage assistants will be on hand to help visitors with their fly-tying and fly-casting techniques. Learn how to tie a fly, and then bring it home with you to try in the nearest stream or lake. TU will also have a display featuring some of the many fish and habitat restoration projects with which they are involved. A fun introduction to a sport to which you might “get hooked!”
