Great turn out for Introduction to fly fishing+a mighty storm!!!

 

Start of day with a great group!!!

The Intro to Fly Fishing class started off fine with a total of 16 attendees(some missing from the picture). Two new members took us up on the offer for free class attendance if they joined the FFI and our charter club.  We welcome new members Keith Smith and Ron Butts.

We began on time at 9am and got to get in 3 rounds of the round robin classes when, THE STORM HIT!!!!

We spent over an hour witnessing wind, hail, rain, thunder and lightning!!!  We all looked for refuge and found it in cars and under the roof of the Red Caboose at the Rio Camp Ground!!!

Under cover tracking the storm!

After an hour and a half, we decided the worst had passed and continued the round robin.

Fly tying, just one of our 4 stations for instruction to include casting, knots and Intro to Fly fishing Equipment!!!
