About Fly Fishing


Fly fishing is a sport which increases our awareness of nature’s beauty and the environment. As a result, we focus strongly on conservation of fish, their habitat, and other natural resources so that future generations can enjoy our sport. Many of us practice catch & release when we fish.

Although trout are the classic species one thinks of when fly fishing, almost any game fish imaginable can be targeted in both fresh and saltwater—from bass and bluegill to tarpon and sailfish. Fly fishing trips can take us into the local foothills after trout, or to the tropics after exotic species.

For those new to the sport, fly fishing is certainly not the easiest way to fish, but it is definitely the most rewarding. Learning and enjoying the sport can actually be rather inexpensive. It does require a little concentration to master the basics, but skilled and patient teachers make it much easier, and you can enjoy yourself right away. However, if it’s a serious challenge you’re after, fly fishing is both an art and a science which can become a lifetime pursuit for many.
