Like fishing for compliments, fishing for fish requires the right bait, the right line, and a friend who is willing to exaggerate. Reel it in with this Groupon.

During River Through Atlanta's beginner fly-fishing class, Orvis-certified guides lead pupils through techniques and equipment setup to have them casting like pros in three engaging hours. With all equipment provided, students learn the roll cast, vertical cast, and 3/4 cast, as well as aquatic ecology and how to select flies. Unlike Robin Williams's acting career, lessons don't utilize hooks, but yarn flies ensure the authenticity of the demonstrations. Alternatively, experienced guides lead three-hour fishing tours that showcase the best fishing spots around each bend of the river.

Fly-fishing classes begin for the season in March of 2013. In March classes start at 7:45 a.m., while from April onwards classes begin at 6:45 a.m.

River Through Atlanta

A Roswell native, River Through Atlanta owner Chris Scalley grew up on the Chattahoochee River, which he proudly still calls home. It's not unusual for Chris to spend 200 days or more on the Hooch, as he and his affiliate guides constantly lead fly fishing instruction, boat trips, and wading trips on the river. Because of his lifetime of experience, Chris has accumulated a unique knowledge of the local ecology, behavior of the trout, and how frequently they vote on American Idol. Though he has fished at destination rivers all over the world, Chris still feels that the Hooch holds its own with regard to angling and aesthetics. To preserve these aesthetics, Chris led efforts to protect the Chattahoochee and its sport fishery, earning him recognition in 2007 as a Hero of Conservation in Field & Stream.

The Groupon Guide to: Tricking Your Kids into Eating Vegetables

Kids don't want to eat vegetables because vegetables aren't fun. Make legumes laughably fun with these tips for preparing vegetables:

  • Put black beans on circular slices of potato to give your kids healthier "chocolate-chip cookies."

  • Cut corn off the cob and offer their picky palates some "rotten goblin teeth."

  • Mash yams and your young ones will be thrilled to eat "a very sick man's innards."

  • An avocado kind of looks like a hand grenade.

  • Remove the strings from celery. Kids will voluntarily eat celery if it's not strung like some kind of ridiculous violin.

Mom, can I have seconds of goblin teeth?
