Pontoon safety class offered by Spokane Fly Fishers

FISHING -- Personal pontoon boats have launched anglers into a new realm of freedom and efficiency on lakes and stream. But after hearing reports of accidents and many close calls, the Spokane Fly Fishers has organized a Pontoon Boat Safety Class that involves a classroom session followed by field sessions on a lake and on moving water.

The evening classroom session is April 28 followed by the lake session on April 30.

The moving water session will be planned at that time, organizers say.

The class is open to a limited number of nonmembers.
