In this episode we WadeOutThere with Kimberly Cordero from Boise, Idaho. Kim’s fascination with fly fishing began while growing up watching her stepfather tie flies and grew as she began tying flies herself during the long, cold winters she experienced while living in South Dakota working for the Department of Juvenile Corrections. Today, Kim is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background of over fourteen years as a child protection social worker and supervisor. When Kim started her own practice she missed being a part of a team and felt “lost without a sense of community.” She found that community by combining her passion for helping youth, love of fly fishing, and professional experience volunteering with the MayFly Project and starting its Boise chapter.We discuss fly fishing with teenagers, some of the psychological connections of how “motion equals emotion” with respect to fly fishing, and the Boise River.*Sidenote. At one point in our conversation Kim mentions the term “placement theory.” She would like to correct that term as “place attachment theory.”You can find out more about The MayFly Project, or volunteer at their website:The MayFly Project.comFor more fly fishing stories, lessons learned, and artwork check out my blog and online gallery at WadeOutThere.comVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit Stealthcraftboats.com or text or call 231-206-4056 and mention "WadeOutThere" when you contact Stealthcraft, for 15% OFF your first boat.
