While COVID-19 did not keep me from fishing, it did prevent Julia Randall Elementary and Rim Country Middle School kids from participating in the After School Fly Fishers program at both schools for most of the school year.
Normally, the students have two semesters of once a week after school fly-fishing activities to look forward to. In the fall, that includes tying flies for two sessions and then trying the new flies out on the fish at Green Valley Lake during the third weekâs session. This routine continues throughout the semester as they learn new fly patterns, and have the thrill of catching fish on flies that they have tied themselves.
