Great News - Youth Forestry and Wildlife Camp Includes Fly Fishing Training - In Oklahoma

Oklahoma Youth Forestry and Wildlife Camp Main Page: "Oklahoma's award winning Youth Forestry and Wildlife Camp exists to increase the awareness of forest and wildlife resources in Oklahoma's youth. The camp provides youth with an opportunity to learn about the natural environment and to explore a variety of careers in forestry, wildlife, recreation, and related natural resource fields.

While enjoying the out-of-doors, campers will explore natural resource management and the issues affecting these resources through a series of hands-on outdoor education programs given by professional natural resource managers. These programs include wildlife management, forest management, stream ecology, urban forestry, and multiple resource management. After a day of exploring the management of our natural resources, campers will enjoy entertaining and informative evening programs such as Camp Fires, Art in Nature, Outdoor Adventure Games, Wildlife Biographies, and Outdoor Safety. Of course there is also lots of time for swimming, boating, hiking, tubing, outdoor photography, flyfishing, volleyball, basketball, sporting clays, and making new friends from all over the state.

The camp is located at group camp #2 in Beaver's Bend State Park near Broken Bow, Oklahoma in the heart of the Kiamichi Mountains. The camp facilities include air conditioned bunk houses, an air conditioned dining hall, hot water showers, basketball and volleyball courts, and an open air amphitheater. The camp's A-frame cabins are tucked away in a pine-hardwood forest filled with wildlife and surrounded by the cold crystal waters of the Lower Mountain Fork River, Oklahoma's premier trout stream."


I'm glad to see that 13-16 year olds are being given a chance to appreciate Fly Fishing. I'm sure some of these young people will find more rewards than "fish" in the experience.

Numazu Densen OJT: I introduce my homemade flies.: "Thursday, July 21, 2005
I introduce my homemade flies.
This time, I introduce my homemade flies. From I started fly fishing, I have thought I want to try tying own flies some day. So, I bought tying gears little by little,�.tying book, tying vise, bird�s wing, color threads, �etc. Some of all things, tying vise, bird�s wing were little expensive. Actually, if I tried to tie, it was really fan. If I couldn�t make good, I want to make it better, next time. If I could make good, I want to make more,�.Anyway, I�m really fan. And I�m really happy when I can get trout by own make flies. But, I'm sorry. I cann't take their photos good."
