Buddies Go Fly Fishing
On Saturday, May 5th, Trout Unlimited generously hosted a day of fly-fishing for 14 of our Buddies at Lake Christine in Basalt - a perfect day for outdoor education and new adventures!
A first time fishing experience for many of our Buddies, Big and Little, the Buddy Program would like to thank Dan Bullock, President of Trout Unlimited local chapter for organizing the adventure for our Buddies, from coordinating the guides, to planning and preparing breakfast and lunch! It was truly inspirational to see our Buddies in action and smiling ear to ear.
