🎣 Fish On! Los Angeles Outing #2 Was a Splash!
The Los Angeles crew hit the water for Outing 2, and let’s just say the fish were definitely invited to the party! 🥳
This time around, we leveled up from land drills to the real deal, practicing "Casting and Line Management" on the water for the first time. The result? Total chaos in the best way possible. Think tight lines, bent rods, and big smiles! 🐟✨🪵
The Highlights:
Patience is a Virtue (and it looks like Bluegill): Our focus on "Patience" wasn't just a lesson, it was a magnet! The bluegill came out in droves to play, keeping our kiddos busy and their reels spinning.
Rural Vibes: We escaped to a regional park that felt worlds away from the city. That "rural lake" energy was exactly what the soul ordered. 🏞️
The Sandwich Situation: A massive shoutout to Sienna Deli in Westlake Village! The kids officially rated these the *Best. Sandwiches. Ever.* 🥪🏆 (Fueling up is half the battle, right?)
We’re already hooked and heading back to the fly bag to prep for Outing #3!
Tight lines, everyone!🎣🙌🏼

Fish on (dry land)! 🎣 Our 5th year of The Mayfly Project Los Angeles is officially underway!
We kicked off the season with our favorite kind of "pre-work": building trusting relationships with our incredible new mentees and their families. 💙
We swapped the river current for park grass, focusing on simulating the on-the-water experience. By mastering casting and knot tying skills in a safe, fun environment, these kids are building the confidence they need for our first official water outing this coming week!
As we enjoyed the beauty of our surroundings, we took a moment to say thank you and honor the Tongva Nation people, who have lived in and loved this land for thousands of years. By keeping it clean and better than we found it, we are being good helpers to the Earth and showing respect to the families who were the very first to call Pasadena home.
A huge thank you to our foster and adopted parents, guardians, and caseworkers for the support, and to our 32 dedicated mentors.
Tight lines, everyone! 🏞️✨
