White River Fly Fishing
The group started with an afternoon of fly-casting basics, then waded in and spent the days finding fish, telling stories, and maybe picking up a new hobby.
Army Veteran Stan of Tat2flyfisher Guide Services taught the group to cast. Rainbow Drive Resort arranged an experienced guide for the trip, and Natural State Fly Shop supplied wader rentals.
