Adventure #1

The Girls had their first adventure at Northwest Trout Ponds.  Casting instruction provided by volunteers from the Fourth Corner Fly Fishing Club, Mrs. Sue Swetman and Mr. Frank Koterba.  Everyone practiced tying the Improved Clinch Knot before tying on their first fly for fishing! We lost a few flies…caught a few trees but not too bad for our first time out.  Yajie landed the first (and only) fish of the day.  We could see them cruising right by our flies – we tried woolley worms, scuds, dry and beaded woolley worms – no luck.   We enjoyed a  sunny day and picnic lunch together.  The day ended with election of officers.  A great day overall.
