CONCORD, N.H. -- Women who want to improve their fly fishing skills can sign up for a Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Intermediate Fly Fishing weekend workshop that will take place June 24-26, 2016, at Coleman State Park in Stewartstown, NH. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.

Registration is now open. To sign up, fill out a print-and-mail application available at www.nhbow.com. The workshop fee of $275 is due with registration and includes program materials, two nights lodging at Coleman Estates at Coleman State Park, and five meals. Registration is limited to 15 participants. If you are interested in attending, fill out and mail in your application right away. Only mailed applications will be accepted. Attendees must supply their own fly rod and reel. A fishing license is not required during scheduled class time.

Taught by Let's Go Fishing and Becoming an Outdoors-Woman instructors, this workshop is for women who have some fly fishing experience and want to become more independent fly anglers. The session will explore the finer points of casting, reading the water, selecting flies, and what to do when you catch a fish (playing, landing and releasing). Participants will have the opportunity to fish for trout in Little Diamond Pond.

"Beyond BOW" workshops are in-depth sessions designed to expand on the offerings of the traditional Becoming an Outdoors-Woman fall and winter programs, helping women gain the skills needed to participate in outdoor activities on their own.

The New Hampshire Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (www.wildnh.com) and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation (www.nhwf.org).
