"The Conclave gave me an opportunity to learn more about casting, reading the water and fishing in the southeast. I thoroughly enjoyed the women's only casting clinic, and I was able to share with that group the impact that
CFR had on my life, and how CFR brought me the gift of fly fishing in addition to the wellness support I needed during my recovery. I met CFR volunteers, past retreat participants and reunited with a dear CFR friend from my retreat. When we were not busy being "booth babes" we laughed until we cried and then laughed some more! I also liked getting to know the women fly fishers from Georgia and hope to stay in contact with some of them. It was my first exposure to those that I have since dubbed the "flyfishing rock stars" - Jim Casada, Gary Borger, etc. and it was wonderful to hear their fishing stories and recommendations. The bible study that Gary Borger led on Sunday morning was particularly meaningful to me, and left me feeling spiritually renewed."
"The FFF conclave was a lesson in camaraderie. Everyone, whatever their field of expertise,was eager to share their knowledge of fly fishing...the authors, the fly fishing instructors, the fly tying experts, the fly rod designers and many other people with interest in the field of fly fishing. Lectures were very informative. Scheduling by the conclave committee allowed attendees the opportunity to attend various lectures.
The facilties at Unicoi seemed to meet all the conclaves' needs to insure a successful FFF gathering."
