Support the Millbrook, New York Project
The Mayfly Project is a selfless and caring initiative focused on kids that deserve a leg up in life. I can’t wait see this project come to life in Millbrook and to play a part in giving these children hope, support and confidence, all through an immersive experience with nature.

Rory Lisefski, Lead Mentor
I grew up in Fallsburg NY 2 miles from the Neversink River. My father would take me spin fishing in several of the area streams and I can still remember the first trout I caught. I didn’t take up fly fishing until after I moved away but make frequent returns to both visit family and make some casts.
I am passionate about tying, exploring new waters, and passing along the hobby to new individuals. Working with the Mayfly project allows me to do all of those things as well as promote a future of inclusiveness in the sport.

Peter Murphy, Mentor
I grew up in the UK and moved to the US in 2008 with my wife Jaime, originally living in Boston, MA and then moving to the Hudson Valley, NY in 2016. My work has been focused on Human Resources and Talent Management and I currently manage the leadership hiring for BNY Mellon in New York. Over recent years I have been involved in our local community as a board member of a local charitable preschool improving access to high quality preschool education for members of our local community. More recently I have been learning to fly fish some of the beautiful rivers of the Hudson Valley, NY. I look forward to participating in this amazing project and giving others the opportunity to enjoy nature through fishing experiences.
