The popularity of fly-fishing is on the rise again

Fly Fishing is one of the world's fastest growing sports.

One of the world's fastest growing sports, fly-fishing, is being offered at Gonzaga next fall.

The Sport and Physical Education Department is adding a beginning course in fly-fishing.

"The purpose of this class is to provide beginning fly-fishers, or those who need some basic assistance, with a comprehensive course on the essentials of fly-fishing," Kristen Kavon, the program coordinator for the sport and physical education activity classes, said. "Intermediate students can also enroll in this class to enrich their technical skills."

Fly-fishing was once offered at Gonzaga several years ago. "In all classes and activities you see swings in trends over a period of time and eventually more focus was put onto other activities."
