A day of fly fishing instruction, fly fishing, and lunch on the deck overlooking the water. Instruction comes first, casting, gear and knots. The guides and volunteers all pitch in to help with the instruction. We suit up, get our gear and pair up with the guides. We will be fishing the river and the ponds. The water is low and clear and the trout plentiful. You can see the smiles and hear the screams of excitement in everyone’s voices every time a trout is on the line, and there are some big ones being landed.
More importantly, we are here for a day of peace and healing, a day outdoors in the mountains. It’s almost lunchtime and we have a special treat prepared by the Escoffier Culinary Academy. We gathered on the deck to eat, tell stories and meet new friends. It’s been a great day and a big thanks to all guides, staff and volunteers.
