I arrived in New Ringgold Pennsylvania, around 5pm and hit local tavern for a few beers before checking into to the guide school. There are four of us taking the one week guide/drift boat course with Joe DeMarkis and his staff at Rivers Fly Fishing. After a few more drinks and some burgers and dogs offf the grill we sat for our first lesson. We watched a video about drift boat basics and then Joe added to it. Tomorrow we head out to the Lehigh River for our first day on the water.
