FLY FISHING -- Silver Bow Fly Shop guide Sean Visintainer offered a class on fly fishing the Spokane River last month and it filled in a heartbeat.

He scheduled another class and it filled quickly, too.

So he's offering another session on June 3 to meet demand from local anglers wanting insight on fishing the "Kan."

The two-hour program will start at 6 p.m. at Silver Bow Fly Shop in Spokane Valley.

Visintainer will cover gear, the fish, where to go, techniques, hatches and fishing the seasons.

Cost:  $20. Must Prepay to enroll; (509) 924-9998
