Step-Out of Your Comfort Zone as a Family and Learn to Flyfish with Fishwest
Change is a challenge, but it's also an opportunity; not just for a person, but for a family. Flyfishing was that challenge for us, ages 10, 11, 15, 17, and... well, let's leave the rest to your imagination. None of us had flyfished before; a few hadn't even fished. Still, we all pictured ourselves gracefully whipping the line like Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It.
The Guided Fishing trip (two per guide), four hours on the Provo River, is the way to go. They provide everything, waders, boots, rods and in no time had my 11-year-old granddaughter and 10-year-old grandson casting like a pro. Okay, I am a proud Pop-Pop. Soon everyone wasn't thinking about technique anymore, just bragging rights: who'd catch the most, who'd catch the biggest.
Everyone, (okay, 6 out of 8) landed a brown trout, and my 15-year-old granddaughter, my son, and my daughter-in-law are still arguing over whose was the biggest. You all be the judge, I'll just note that I caught the first fish.
Our Fishwest guides -- Max, Tom, James, and Nate were outstanding: knowledgeable, patient, and great teachers. It is worth every penny. We started as beginners, and by the end, they introduced us to the joy of fly fishing. They gave my family a memory we'll be talking about for years.
