If you’ve ever seen the movie “A River Runs Through It” you’ll remember the “romance” that’s associated with fly fishing. Fly fishing offers the opportunity to relax, enjoy and learn about nature, and spend precious time with friends and family in some of the most beautiful locations in the country. It provides one of the best excuses for travel you’ll ever find, and it’s always good for an exciting shot of adrenaline when a “man vs. fish” battle of wits and strength takes place.

Last weekend, a group of students and staffers from Cherokee Creek Boys School went to Tennessee to experience the thrill of fly fishing. They had a load of fun fishing in the rain. There were many “firsts” for some of the boys. One night the group enjoyed a “low country boil”. Two of the boys had never tried shrimp before. One of the highlights of the trip also included a fun boat ride in the rain.

Some people might let the rain keep them from having fun, but not these boys!  The weather is always beyond our control, and they truly made the best of it. These CCBS students will all have memories of the trip that will last a lifetime.

We want to give a big “THANK YOU” to the sweet family that shared their home with the group for the weekend.

We were also so happy that David, Cherokee Creek’s Executive Director, was able to go with the group and enjoy time with the students outside of his office.

So… when’s the next fly fishing trip? Let’s do it again!
