Learn how to Fly Fish
While this happens in Battle creek it is put on by the Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited. They put on super cool and fun fishing events all over the Kazoo area. They provide all the gear and instruction. This is held in the social district area of downtown BC so you can fish with a barley soda in hand if you want. If you were to seek out lessons this would probably cost 100 dollars or more but its free. The folks who teach will help you on anything from different casts to how to read water to which flies are matching the hatch.
