“I recommend this to kids who are struggling with self-confidence, motivation, and trust.  I learned a lot through the experiences with my mentors and I’m so glad I went.  This is such a wonderful program and in the end, you come out proud of your accomplishments during each season.  I love that you don’t have to be an experienced fly fisherman or be experienced at all.  You learn everything through trusted and amazing adults.  I am so thankful for the memories and bonds I made along the way.  I was sad to leave but I left confident, happy, and motivated.  This organization is so wonderful.  I would totally recommend even if you don’t know anything about fishing or don’t like fishing.  Fish on!”
