Fishing allows hunters to practice their craft on the water, where bait and hooks have a far lesser chance of accidentally catching a hungry roommate. Avoid confrontation with today’s Groupon to Nomad Anglers in Okemos. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get a fly-fishing or fly-tying class (a $60 value).
• For $25, you get $50 worth of fishing gear, accessories, and apparel.
  
  

Helmed by enthusiastic fisherman Brian Bielecki, Nomad Anglers dispenses a cavalcade of fly-fishing equipment from brands such as Orvis, Simms, and Patagonia alongside five-hour introductory classes. During Introduction to Fly Fishing, students dive into lessons on scale-seducing basics such as rigging, casting, fly selection, and which color gummy worm makes the best bait. Introduction to Fly Tying teaches pupils how to bind fish-eye catching baubles onto miniature harpoons in hopes of making a catch. All necessary equipment is provided for both sessions. Anglers who select the second option can don the toasty layers of WaderWick fleece pants to warm up their waders when standing in rivers or giant bogs of ice cream, or peruse the huge selection of saltwater fly lines ($45–$99.95), perfect for luring dorsal-finned pretzels out of the ocean.
