It's best when people just like being out there. I noticed that women are easier to guide than men. They listen to instructions,” he said. One of Phil's clients happened tobe a travel reporter from the Los Angeles Times newspaper. He was featured significantly in her July story. “I thought the article was funny. She was a nice lady,” said Phil of Susan Spano, who described him as “tall, diffident and dangerously cute.” Phil, whose father taught him the art of fly fishing, is a self- described addict. As a guide he did not get much fishing in him- self, but learned how to get along with all different kinds of people. “I was part psychologist and part knot tier. It’s a lot of fun. But, it asks alot of you in terms of people skills,” he said. Much like golf, fly fishing can- not be mastered. And thatis what Phil likes about it. “Fly fishing is something you can never figure out. The most experienced fly fisherman can go out there and mess up,” said Phil. “There are so many aspects to it, such as, reading the water. It will take a lifetime to learn be- cause it's always new.” Phil would love to be a guide in Chile or New Zealand (his mother’s native country), and bum around Cosgrove (continued from page 1) relief to finally do something. Sometimes it can get frustrating,” said Cosgrove, who is the son of Joseph Sr. and Sharon Cosgrove. Dr. Barber is proud of his stu- dent. “J.P.’'s made something, it’s new and while we still have to do more tests on the compound, it looks like what we think it is,’ said Barber. “J.P. has got- ten farther than anyone else I had work on this project. He's the first one to get a well- defined com- pound.” On campus, Cosgrove is in- J.P. COSGROVE volved in intramural sports and is a member of the Ultimate Frisbee Team. He participated in Alterna- tive School Break Club last se- mester over spring break and helped build a house for an un- derprivileged family. “It was probably my best col- lege experience so far,” said Cosgrove. The Alternative School Break Club is one of 25 programs of sustained voluntary service that Lafayette students conduct an- nually under the auspices of the College’s Community Outreach Center. Over the January and spring breaks, Alternative School Break Club has traveled to Hon- duras, Kentucky and South Caro- lina to complete service projects.

Mark Morris, 20, got back last . week from a summer guiding in Alaska. He is the son of John and Claire Morris and studying bio- medical engineering at Syracuse University. He also learned the sport from his dad when he was only eight years old. Mark, his brother, John, and his father have gone on fish- ing trips to Iceland and Canada. This was his first summer guid- ing and he loved it. He worked at the Katmai Lodge in the Bristol Bay area on the Alagnak River in Alaska. He was 300 miles from the closest road. Katmai Lodge is the largest river,” fresh water fishing lodge in the world. Approximately 800 guests stayed at the lodge over the sum- mer. Mark was responsible for one to three of the 87 clients per week. “There was an intense two-week training program to learn the explained Mark, who in addition to guiding, worked on construction and plumbing at the lodge. Although the clients come from all walks of life, Mark has in- structed a couple of big names. He guided Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight and his son, Pat, and Joe Humphreys, a fly- fishing writer and Penn State pro- fessor. “I really enjoyed it. I'd love to go back. I learned so much about fishing and driving boats,” said Mark. “I also learned how to deal with all different types of people and how to manage time.” He was responsible for cooking client lunches on the boat, supplying all fishing gear, tying all files and fending off bears. A hunter all his life, Mark car- ried a gun in case any bears de- cided salmon was not enough. On one outing Mark and his cli- ents were fishing. Mark had just finished making lunch in the boat, when a hungry bear smelled the cooked fish and approached the boat. At first, only Mark saw the bear that charged at him a few times, coming within 25 yards. That was too close for comfort so Mark in- structed his clients to get in the boat to leave. They resisted the suggestion until they caught a glance of the bear in the woods. “They pulled up their lines fast after that,” said Mark. “It was the first time I ever had to put a shell intomy gun.

I enjoy all kinds of fishing, but fly fishing is more of a challenge. You have to study which fly which fish bites on and whether to use dry or wet flies,” he said. “I'm always learn- ing. There are so many different styles of fly fishing.” Mark hopes he can guide again next summer. Call about our Special SENIORS ONLY Fall Programs and our PSAT Fall programs for juniors and sophmores.
