Do-it-yourself fishing class

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Evan Padua of Sweetwater Guide Service will teach “DIY: Fishing” at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St., on Thursday, June 11. The class will run from 7 to 9 p.m. and is part of the Do-it-Yourself workshop series presented by The Cooperage Project.

During the past six years, Honesdale and Narrowsburg native Evan Padua has guided fishing and whitewater river trips in Alaska, Wyoming, New York and Pennsylvania. Currently, as a guide with his father for Sweetwater Guide Service, he guides day-fishing trips on the Upper Delaware River.

Padua will start with a discussion of the necessary equipment, the rules and regulations and touch on local fish species. He’ll even share tips and tricks and point toward great fishing locations in our region.

After learning the basics, plan to roll up your sleeves and practice some knot tying. Then, a casting lesson will take place in the pocket park in front of The Cooperage. Feel free to bring your fishing pole, but it’s not required. While this workshop will be geared toward first-time fisherman, seasoned fisherman can expect to learn a few tips and tricks from Evan. Visit thecooperageproject.org or call 570/253-2020.
