2026 Fly-fishing Workshop on the Yellow Dog
August 22 and 23, 2026
The fifth annual fly-fishing workshop on the Yellow Dog River will take place on Saturday and Sunday, August 22 and 23. This collaborative event is hosted by the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve, the Fred Waara Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and Superior Outfitters.
All proceeds will go to the Yellow Dog River Community Forest expansion project.
Participants do not need their own equipment: TU and Superior Outfitters will supply fly rods, flies, and other accouterments. However, you should bring wading shoes of some sort and clothes that can get wet. Waders are optional but not necessary at this time of year. YDWP will provide camping sites and the meals for both days. No need to bring dishes, but do bring tent, sleeping gear, water bottle, and a headlamp. Camping is rustic, and electricity is not available.
Classes are limited to 20 students. A $60 donation is requested at registration. Youths 13-15 are welcome with an accompanying adult, and teens 16-17 may attend alone with parental approval. A Michigan fishing license is required for those 17 and older. No dogs, please.
