Bennett Springs Park, Lebanon Missouri
I had the extreme pleasure of spending my Mothers Day 2006 with a group of women that deserve
a hugh applause.
The women of Hallmark Cards came out to learn how to fish and gave up their Mothers Day weekend
to come and experience their first time fishing.
We had a remarkable 2 days together learning how to fly fish with the great staff of the Jim Rogers
Fly School. Ed Johnson of Crappie Masters hosted the amazing event, and each one of us walked away inspired and
anxious to tell others of our experiences.
We filmed the whole experience and I will share with you shortly (a shorter version of a new fishing reality
show). We laughed together, cried together (Again Pam I am sooooo sorry.) Remember fishing is sometimes painful, but
worth the experience.
We were able to sit around a camp fire, experience bear stew and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Together we all were living the moment.
I was invited to be a guest and I walked away with an amazing gift. Each women took there
lessons seriously and all anxiously were ready to fish and outfish. Together the weekend wasnt really about catching
fish, but about trying to catch fish. To have them open there minds to a new experience, and they absolutely caught
onto it.
I am proud to call each and every one of the Hallmark women my new fishing buddies, I look forward
to hearing all of their fishing stories around the camp fire next year.
Until later girls.... happy fishing.!
