Learning to Fish & Feast (Ovrnt W-Fri) (Overnight) Full

You cast your bait into the cold waters of the mountain lake. As you patiently wait, you look up and witness an Osprey fly overhead, hover in the air and bullet towards the water, talons outstretched. After a moment of struggle it flies off with a trout, leaving you thankful for this good omen. Shortly after, you feel a bite on your line and your focus is directed to the challenge that has started. It will hopefully end with you holding a beautiful fish in your hands.

The first two days of camp, we will visit local lakes to learn the basics of angling; everything from tying knots to casting, which lures to use and how to identify different types of fish. On Wednesday, we will depart for the lakes of Mt. Hood for a two night overnighter, camping, fishing and exploring the lakes of Oregon’s tallest peak. Some of the fish we catch we will keep, teaching you how to clean the fish and turn them into part of a delicious dinner! Most importantly, by the end of the week you will learn how to be a responsible angler, using your new set of skills in a way that will help keep the waterways healthy and the fish populations stable for future generations of people and fish alike.
