The FFF and The Big Horn River Alliance are co-sponsoring a great opportunity
for young people to expand their knowledge of fly fishing. Twelve (12)
youngsters between the ages of 14-18 will be invited for a 4-day fly tying and
fly fishing adventure. All meals, lodging, airport shuttles and guides will be
provided free of charge. Air transportation to Billings or transportation
directly to Fort Smith must be secured by the participant’s parents, guardian
or fly fishing club, -EXCEPT- there are also a limited number of travel
assistance grants available for youngsters who would otherwise be unable to
attend.

The dates for the Bighorn Youth Adventure will be June 23 through 26, 2011 with
a travel day before and after. All clubs and councils and individuals are more
than welcome to encourage applications from young fly fishers.

Anyone who is interested in applying for this opportunity must fill out an
application form. The form asks for names and addresses of both parents and
applicants, questions regarding angler experience, health and diet questions,
and more. There are also three essay questions at the conclusion of the
application. The 12 youths asked to attend will be selected by the Bighorn
River Alliance based upon their experience and the quality of their essay
question answers. Application deadline is March 31, 2011.
