点评:I had just learned to fly fish with Casting for Recovery, a nonprofit group in the United States created for breast cancer survivors to aid in their muscular and mental recovery from the harsh treatment. So when I found myself on a mountain top in Costa Rica at a Recovery Clinic after participating in Dental Tourism (so I could afford my first dental implant), the Nurse informed me of a prestigious Costa Rican fly fishing pioneer who lived next door. I insisted she introduce me to a man who later, it turned out, has influenced my life. Peter Gorinsky, founder of Fly Fish in Costa Rica, became my mentor and good friend.
Peter and one of his young fishing guide proteges, 19-year-old Charlie Chavaria (who now owns his own fly fishing operation, 'Fly Fishing Adventures In Costa Rica'), first helped me by taking the time to practice casting while still in the grassy expanse near his orchid greenhouse. Soon we set a day for a private fishing expedition to the Savegre river in the cloud forest mountains, reknown for its rare Tico trout. I was new to the hobby so Charlie's help in re-rigging the line every time I snagged a bush or a tree was immeasurable! Peter gave me guidance and instructions, which I still practice today, 10 years later, helping me early on to not develop bad fly casting habits.
I'm still returning to Costa Rica for excellent dental work and booking fishing adventures with Peter and Fly Fish in Costa Rica. He's taken me to some amazing and beautiful places over the years. What a privilege to learn from the very best!
翻译:我刚刚通过 Casting for Recovery 学会了飞鱼,这是美国的一个非营利组织,旨在帮助乳腺癌幸存者从严酷的治疗中恢复肌肉和精神。因此,当我参加牙科旅游后发现自己在哥斯达黎加的一家康复诊所的山顶上时(这样我就可以负担得起我的第一个牙科植入物),护士告诉我住在隔壁的一位着名的哥斯达黎加飞钓先驱。我坚持要她把我介绍给一个后来影响了我生活的男人。哥斯达黎加 Fly Fish 的创始人 Peter Gorinsky 成了我的导师和好朋友。
Peter 和他的一位年轻钓鱼向导门生,19 岁的 Charlie Chavaria(他现在拥有自己的飞蝇钓业务,“哥斯达黎加的飞钓历险记”)首先帮助了我,当时我还在他的兰花温室附近的草地。很快,我们就定下了一天的私人垂钓之旅,前往云雾林山脉的萨维格雷河,那里以稀有的提科鳟鱼而闻名。我是这个爱好的新手,所以每次我抓住灌木或树木时,查理都会帮助重新装配绳索,这是无法估量的! Peter 给了我指导和指导,10 年后的今天我仍在练习,帮助我早日避免养成不良的抛飞习惯。
我仍将返回哥斯达黎加进行出色的牙科治疗,并与 Peter 和 Fly Fish 一起预订哥斯达黎加的钓鱼冒险活动。这些年来,他带我去了一些神奇而美丽的地方。向最优秀的人学习是多么荣幸!
