Our Approach

My Vision

I believe that regardless of the skill, by helping others you become better at that skill.  In this case I think that people that are interested in fly fishing and fly tying should have an accessible way to learn the skills.

Along with independence comes confidence and the passion to continue learning.  I can't think of a better way to enjoy the outdoors than fly fishing.

Our Story

A Story

For as long as I can remember, fly fishing was fishing.  I was baptised in the the creeks and rivers of southeastern Ohio and was constantly learning about fly fishing and myself.

I have been around a lot of cool people that I have learned from and hope to share what I have learned with a few more.  Come join me.
