| LPFFC MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN THE PHILMONT FLY FISHING INVITATIONAL |
Philmont Scout Ranch hosted its 2009 Fly Fishing Invitational from September 10 through the 13. LPFFC members, Ken Dettelbach and Pam Scotty, were most fortunate to participate in this very special and unique opportunity. Staying at Fish Camp, the site of one of three original hunting and lishing lodges of Waite Phillips, they were surprised to find themselves staying in the well appointed rustic private accommodations of Waite Phillips.
There were 19 participants at Fish Camp from all over the country, many of them Eagle Scouts having prior Philmont Scout adventures including a Dad and his 4 sons from Ohio. The photos also include the Aqua Fria and the Rayado Rivers that converge at Fish Camp. Ken and Pam report that the fishing was unbelievable.
