Fishing
History/Background
Rusty caught his
first fish on a fly rod when he was just
three years old.
That began a
love affair with fly-fishing that would
eventually evolve into fly-fishing for
trout, which he believes to be the
ultimate fishing experience. Raised
under the wing of an avid fly-fisherman,
Rusty had a live-in trout tutor. He
eagerly anticipated the many fishing
trips that filled his youth. It was on
one such trip at the age of ten that
Rusty first came to the glorious stretch
of water that is now River Of Life Farm.
This trip, the return trips to follow,
and the natural beauty of ROLF, made an
indelible impression.
The years ahead
would see Rusty travel to many different
waters and catch many different fish. He
has honed his skills with trips to
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana in search
of hungry trout, but the Ozarks always
lured him back.
Fishing
Rusty likes the
North Fork in particular, because it
reminds him of his favorite western
rivers such as the Platte and the Fire
Hole.
Rusty now
returns to the North Fork ready to share
his favorite water with others. He is
now an accomplished fly-fisher with many
different techniques in his arsenal. He
readily enjoys teaching others these
skills as well as instructing basic and
advanced fly-casting. Rusty takes no
greater pleasure than to see others
develop into a more complete angler.
What you need to
bring
All the fishing
gear you have, patience, all the
questions you ever had, and a clear
direction on what you expect out of your
trip.
