“Ask any fly fisher why they like to fish, and one of the first things you are likely to hear is that time and troubles all but disappear when you’re on the water. After experiencing this phenomenon for years, I began to lean into aspects of the sport that contributed to its meditative quality and, it turns out, the same practices that lead to relaxation and calm also make you a better fly angler. “
In a world obsessed with shortcuts to performance, fly fishing beckons us to slow down and take the scenic route. In this presentation, Cari will share some of the decisions you can make, on and off the water, to simultaneously enhance your enjoyment and increase your fly angling success.
Enhance your experience by joining us for a delicious dinner in our Historic Dining Hall overlooking Lake Sagamore, followed by the presentation.
Cari Ray - Fly Fishing Guide & FFI-Certified Casting Instructor
Cari Ray, now Sagamore’s Sr. Director of Programs & Operations, is a former full-time guide, host of the Fisher of Zen Podcast, and founder of Zen Fly Fishing, a woman-owned and operated fly fishing school and guide service. She brings years of teaching and guiding in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and the Adirondacks. She has always been committed to helping her clients and students become more independent and successful fly anglers. Her true passion, however, is in inviting them to leverage the sport of fly fishing as a sort of “moving meditation.” She believes that some of the most valuable “catches” found on the water have little to do with fish.
