On the first day of fly fishing we took a one hour bus ride to a farm up in Sooke where there was a small lake. We met with Mr. Ian Muirhead who owns a fly fishing school. We were first taught all the rules and safety regulations and then we were taught how to cast. this proved difficult for some people but as we kept practicing we started getting the hang of casting. We took a break for lunch about two hours later. we practice a little bit of fox casting after lunch and then we were taught how to make our own flies and flies are basically the hooks used to catch the fish. we made many flies and we are great time making the flies and learning how to cast.
