Allyson is my girl friend, and is Air Force Master Sergeant, Retired. I met her 2 years ago through Project Healing Waters program, for which I'm a local chapter board member and fly fishing and fly tying program coordinator. Her first day ever fly fishing was from my drift boat on the SF Boise River. A day's worth of missed fish didn't hurt her spirit, only sparking her passion for fishing with a fly. Through the following fall, we kept in touch, and I was able to guide her to her first fly rod outfit, waders, vests, etc.
