North House Folk School

North House is looking forward to hosting this course on campus in the safest way possible. Students will be asked to wear a mask at all times on campus, and to practice social distancing of 6 feet, as well as adhere to other safety protocols. See the full details of our COVID-19 protocols here.

You will need the following tools for this class:

• Minnesota fishing license (trout stamp required for ages 18-64; see regulations for other exceptions)
• Fly Rod and Reel (a 5 to 7 weight is a preferred weight for our fishing needs)
• Floating line (weight should match the size reel you have)
• Chest High Waders (the preferred waders are ones that require a separate pair of wading boots as
• opposed to the neoprene type of waders with the boots attached)
• Personal Floatation Device (PDF)
• warm layers; October can be chilly

• Wading staff, especially for those who have not done a lot of wading.  This can be a simple staff of wood strong enough to take your weight with a simple wrist strap.
