STREAMS OF THOUGHT – NOTES FROM THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT
TROUT CAMP 2022
Next week, I will be sharing the joys (and tribulations!) of fly fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains with 14 youth at the 11th session of the John Thurman Trout Adventure Camp. While no longer the director (in fact maybe because of it!) I am looking forward to making new friends and sharing new fishing adventures with these campers along with working with the camp staff to make this happen! Trout Camp becomes more popular each year with over 40 applications again for this session. The dedication of the Camp Staff is essential to this popularity; each member volunteers their time to make this happen. We are always looking for more staff as others move on with their lives; a great place to make an impact on young people! Also, perhaps a prayer for their comfort this year as temps are to be in the 90s during the week—Yikes. An ‘accidental’ slip and slide into the creek may be a more common occurrence this week!
Tight Lines—Steve Y
