WISE 2017 Fly Fishing Project

Today, I read Sophie Izzo's Yurt Life blog. The most detailed part was her description about her childhood and how she became in love with nature. I would love to hear more about her plans for staying in a yurt and things that follow. What struck me is her dedication to her upcoming adventure in a Yurt. I realized for my own blog I could add some pictures to give people an idea of my fly fishing journey.

I am ready! I have been waiting for this moment all year. I will be meeting with my mentor this Tuesday and go over the outline for the semester. I have been reading tons of fly fishing books and tutorials that continue to inspire me. I hope I am able to get out on the water this week or maybe next week. The weather conditions have been pretty rough considering temperature and water levels. But Spring is Coming! Ps. Getting new waders! Excited!

I plan to spend as much time as I can in the water and also with my mentors to maximize my knowledge of fly fishing. I want to fish at least 3-5 days a week and leave the days I don’t to gather information to add to my blog.  I envision my blog to be a storage for all my achievements with pictures and videos expressing them. Taking what I learn from my research( Mentors, Online, Videos, and definitely locals that I meet) out in the field to achieve a stepping stone. As far has the first week goes I will start observing and learning how to read the water before going in the water. Talking to local people I see fishing and watching. Stopping by my local fly shop and receive some fly tips here and there to prepare myself for the water.(http://www.eflytyer.com/) Going into my second week, I do want to get my feet wet and experiment what I have learned from the first week.

Welcome to my blog.
