I’m just home for an hour here in continuation of a busy run that started on July 7 with a three day Scientific Angler photo shoot. Next I fished with my friend Scott then on Thursday I taught a full day fly fishing seminar in Big Sky, MT. Friday, I left Big Sky and drove 7 hours to Pinedale, WY so that yesterday I could help with the fantastic fundraising event in Pinedale, WY, Fishing for the Fight.
Fishing for the Fight (FFF) raises money for families fighting cancer, people with special needs and children with chronic illness. The funds defray the cost of travel, food and lodging, a cost that results from living in a rural location such as Sublette County Wyoming. I helped by being a guide/judge for their fun fishing tournament from 6:45 AM till 1 PM. Then during the evening banquet, I did my sharpie art on a Yeti cooler while folks watched. FFF sold the Yeti in their live auction to raise money. I’m proud to say the cooler went for $6000!
I was too tired to drive all the way home when the event ended around 10:30 PM last night so I drove a little then slept in the back of the Explorer on the Upper Green River. You would think I’d wake up and fish but instead I was up at 5:15 and drove home because I’m being picked up in an hour by friend Boots Allen. Boots and I will be meeting Tom Bie (Drake Magazine) and fishing the lower Snake River for the next three days. See blogs for 2019 and 2020.
Time to run!
