FLY FISHING -- An instructor training program for the National Fishing in Schools Program -- a nationwide program that brings outdoor education indoors to students in grades 6-12 -- is set for Sunday (March 24) at the Loon Lake Elementary School.

The idea is to give more adults the skills and tools to get kids hooked on a lifetime sport.
