THE PROGRAM

We conduct free, one-day fly casting workshops for first responders. Our program proposes to make these benefits available through free fly-casting and fly tying instruction. We end the day by bank fishing on a pond, lake or river.   

Our program is implemented by the following:

 

  • A Full Day Casting Workshop (8:30 am to 4:00 pm) - at a local facility with an A/C building, space for casting, and a body of water for fishing.

  • Coffee, breakfast food, drinks, lunch and all equipment is provided.

​​

  • A supportive environment created by instructors engaging with participants.​​


 

The Benefits of Fly Fishing are more accesible than you may think!

Each of these activities has a component of practice that can be done on or off the water and still provide stress-relieving benefits. For example, the rhythmic motion of casting mimics mediation and can be done in the yard, in the neighborhood street, or on the water!

Stress-relieving practices learned during the day can be applied to the art of fly fishing or used as a part of a meditative routine that offers continued assistance in renewing the mind and refreshing the spirit.

 

Participants of all levels of skill and experience will benefit from a Good Fly Fly Fishing Workshop!

THE NEED

Research indicates that First Responders in our communities are at an increased risk of stress, anxiety, and depression. 

Law Enforcement, Fire Protection and Military Personnel protect our freedoms, our lives, and our property, and in so doing, experience sustained and sometimes intensely stressful situations.

These are the heroes we seek to support.
