FERNNS - Group 4
Our most requested excursion is back!!! We are partnering once again with Fletchers Farm
Trout in the AM. Bass in the PM. Real skills. Real connection.
In the AM: stick rods, worming hooks, and trout the old-school way.
Lunch, relax, connect, recharge.
PM: chasing bass, spinning rods, landing fish, even filleting.
We finish with a shore supper—hopefully with our own catch.
More than fishing—learning the six pillars of wellness through experience:
family, exercise, rest, nature, nutrition, and stress.
