The following story is an account of Deb Berkebile's trip, really an adventure, in attending a Federation of Fly Fishers Conclave in Colorado this past July, 2009. It is a personal story that shares an emotional experience as well as a colorful description of the excursion.

In Deb's story you can feel the excitement of getting involved in the conclave and the payoff for the investment of being there.
