This clinic is taught by Elisa Daniels. Elisa is a high school counselor in Thermopolis Wyoming. She lives with her husband and two daughters on the banks of the Big Horn River north of Thermopolis. Elisa began fly fishing in 2013 after completing school and moving back to Thermop. Living on the Big Horn allowed her the opportunity to begin her fly fishing journey close to home, grow her skills and expand from there. She has fished many different waters around Wyoming. Most of her trips take her off the beaten path into the backcountry, from the Washakie Wilderness, to the Bob Marshall. One of her favorite trips was a week in British Columbia exploring the Elk River. For Elisa, Fly Fishing has become a passion and opportunity to spend time with her family while introducing her girls to the outdoors.

The lodge we will be staying in is out in the country but easily accessible. The lodge is 6000 square feet with 9 beds and 5.5 baths and includes a pond, firepit, and wifi.
