Hello from Michael & Patti

August 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

 

Michael and I were able to meet with our web designer a few days ago. She has motivated us (hopefully) to update are website and facebook page on a more regular basis. Here is my first attempt at publication.

Michael’s fly fishing workshops have been going very well this year. Even with his expanded calendar, the beginning classes have had an average of 6 students per weekend. Some classes have been overflowing with 14 students and others have been a little more intimate with 2-3 students. We are very thankful as it has been a very prosperous year for DreamCastIdaho. com . Combine those with his intermediate classes on Sunday afternoons and Spey classes on Monday and Friday nights it has been an extremely busy summer for Michael.

On the few occasions that Michael has had a day or two to himself we have enjoyed a few hours of fly fishing on our local waters. I am still looking forward to the first time I out fish Michael, however, I believe that day is right over the horizon. I have to say the learning process has been a lot of fun. Luckily Michael has been blessed with an abundance of patience and understanding. I look forward to the day I develop that ever absent “finesse”!So for all those developing fly fisherman just remember “DreamCastIdaho.com” can help you too!
My wife is so funny, she is always a joy to fish with as it takes me back to my first years.  We hope to see you on the river!
Michael and Patti
