GRAY — If you have ever wanted to try your hand at the arts of fly tying and fly casting, the Wildlife Park is the place to be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 18.

Members of the Sebago chapter of Trout Unlimited will demonstrate and invite participation from kids and parents alike to learn these popular fishing arts. Several teenage assistants will be on hand to help visitors with their fly tying and fly-casting techniques.

Learn how to tie a fly, and then bring it home with you to try on your next fishing trip. TU will also have a display featuring some of the many fish and habitat restoration projects with which they are involved.

The Maine Wildlife Park is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. April 15 through Nov. 11. Admission is free for ages 3 and under; $5 ages 5-12; $7 for adults, and $5 for seniors. Groups of 15 or more are $3.50 per person.
