WKU Fly Fishing Programs

Welcome to the WKU fly fishing website. Fly fishing is one of my favorite outdoor activities and I am pleased to be involved with offering many instructional programs to our students and community members.

There are three primary program areas we offer:

  1. Course (for credit)
  2. Workshops (non-credit)
  3. Travel Program (for credit and non-credit)

These programs are different in many aspects, but they all have a common goal of helping you start the great lifetime leisure pursuit of fly fishing.
