The Six Stages of Fly Fishing – A Life’s Experience
“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after”.
By far this is my favorite presentation. This is a very different program. Instead of a program on catching more fish, or a fly fishing destination, the primary focus is on the fly fisherman. What is it that drives us to be so passionate about the ‘Quiet Sport’? “Who are we?” This program examines the various ‘stages’ in a fly fishers life, including the initial ‘discovery’ of the sport, the need to learn and educate ourselves more about it, it’s addictive powers, the friendships it has helped us form, the spirituality it has given us, and how it has provided us with a better understanding about where we fit in the world and universe.
