300       Hooked on Fly Fishing

 

$800

 

     Going fishing?  How about fly fishing on a 4½ mile private stretch of the Tobyhanna River in eastern Pennsylvania at Pocono Lake Preserve.  Two days and one night’s lodging for up to four people.  Your outfitter-guided adventure begins with a late afternoon arrival to catch the evening hatch.  After cleaning up, you can discuss the one that got away over cocktails and dinner before retiring for the night in a charming rustic mountain cabin.  Fish all the next day, pausing long enough to enjoy a streamside picnic.  Schedule your fishing trip on a mutually agreed upon date between May 1 to June 15, 2009.
