Fly Fishing Collaborative

No comments yet

as humans, we’re not meant to just consume. we meant to create beautiful things, to impact those around us, to leave a mark on the world. there needs to be a bigger purpose behind all the things that we do. that’s when it dawned on us… we can use fly fishing to create change. flyfishingcollaborative.org bucky@flyfishingcollaborative.org a year ago i spent a morning on the river with some friends who had been telling me about an organization they had started that used fly fishing to make an impact on those in need. over the past year, they have made some amazing strides, a couple weeks ago, i got back out with them. we hiked out to the river before dawn, and by the time the sun rose, i had already experienced more beauty in a few hours than i normally do in a month. and this video is a little look into some of the amazing things they are doing. i'm excited to share with you a touch of that beauty i got to experience but more so excited to share with you this amazing story and even more amazing undertaking. ip _______________________________________________________ note from bucky: None of this is possible without the friends in the fly fishing community banding together with the common focus to help. We want to thank everyone that has climbed on board with what we’re doing. It seriously would be impossible without you. I think of Marty and Mia shepherd of Little Creek Outfittters. They donated the first guided trip that we ever received. Their generosity and dedication to helping others is so inspiring. The industry is lucky to have them. I think of Joel Loffiette from Royal Treatment fly shop, and Brian Silvey, I think of Adventures Across Oregon, Small Stream Outfitters, and so many other guides, fly tiers, and good hearted people that have helped us along the way.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
