Testimonials
“My daughter was having a terrible time focusing in school. Getting her into fly-fishing taught her patience, respect for the environment, and gives the whole family an activity to look forward to on the weekends. ”
“One word. Bugs. They love the bugs.”
“My son found self-confidence in his casting abilities. He’s teaching all the kids in the neighborhood now in our backyard. Can’t wait to organize a trip for them.”
“The kids went a whole three hours without asking for screen-time. Can’t beat that!”
