Bikefishing

Bikefishing with Swift Industries AND PATH LESS PEDALED

Screen Shot 2016-05-15 at 10.18.27 AM.png

Fly fishing and bicycles are a stellar match, and we'll show you our favorite ways to set up your bicycle for life on the fly. You’ve never held a rod in your hands? Perfect! We are partnering with the good folks at Tenkara Rod Co. because they’ve created the perfect set­up for newbies and experts alike.

You’ll come away with the tools to kickstart your next bike­fishing adventures with a great overview of basic gear, the foundations of fishing technique and an eye for spotting the best holes in Portland waters. We’ll wax poetic about how the open road made better by fly­fishing, and round out our morning with hands­on casting practice.

Once we claim our turf we'll get our hands wet with a bit of practice. You’ll learn how to set­up your rods, tie essential knots and experience casting first­hand. Our new bike­anglers will be familiarized with both Tenkara and Traditional fly fishing methods. After a riverside lunch we will put our new skills to the test at catching (or not) those elusive finned creatures before heading back to the Stay Wild EXPO to party.
