Event Overview
Friday, August 7th: Meet one another, set up our camps along the river, and enjoy a nice dinner together.
Saturday, August 8th: In the morning we will have a slow but early morning together, learning about knot tying and casting. Throughout the day, Stella will take women out on the river in small groups so that you can gain a personal and in-depth understanding of how to read the water, how to traverse the river and how to bring a big fish in! When not fishing, you’ll be at camp with Fran, learning about river entomology, doing crafts, or relaxing however you choose.
Sunday, August 9th: If groups want to get out on the river again, there will be more opportunities in the morning. Whenever we’re done fishing we will have a farewell celebration and pack up camp.
