**********Cinder Worm Workshop ‘09**********
Kettle Pond Visitor Center and Ninigret Refuge, RI

Observe one of nature’s fascinating spring rituals. Witness thousands of cinder worms as they wiggle their way to the surface performing their spring mating dance. Quietly wade the protected coves of Ninigret Pond on a warm spring evening. See the beauty of a sunset over tranquil water. Now listen to the sound of silence as it is interrupted by dozens of surface feeding stripers. Finally, fish for those stripers using the tiny cinder worm flies you tied yourself. This isn’t some kind of fisherman’s dream? It’s reality and it can happen to you.

The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in partnership with RI D.E.M. is organizing a Cinder Worm Workshop. There will be two weekday evening classes in fly tying instruction on cinder worm patterns and one weekend evening of fly fishing. We would like to have everyone attend both workshops, but you also have the option to pick just one.

Fly Tying Instruction - Kettle Pond Visitor Center on May 5th, and 19th between the hours of 6:30 – 8:30 pm.

Fly Fishing - Ninigret Refuge (entrance through Ninigret Park) on May 30 begins at 4:00 pm and we will fish the worm swarm till dark. Introduction to practical rigging and casting instruction will be covered for those that need additional assistance. Fly Fishers will then fish the coves of Grassy Point area of Ninigret Refuge. (We don’t guarantee the weather or the fish but past experiences have shown that this is prime time for the worm mating season.)

This program is open to any adult or child over the age of 15 regardless of skill level. Instruction and guidance will be provided by some of the area’s most knowledgeable worm fishermen. All fly tying materials will be provided. We encourage the use of personal equipment, but RIDEM Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Aquatic Resource Education program will also provide the necessary fishing and fly tying equipment (other than waders)) for beginners and entry level registrants. Pre-registration is required.
