Re-Discover Your Region 2017 Recap
Filming the Re-Discover Your Region videos has been a blast. It was a lot of fun visiting old friends, making new ones, and exploring new water throughout 2017. In order to make 2018 a bigger year – we need your support. Please subscribe to our channel to receive notifications about our upcoming episodes. We would also greatly appreciate it if you could share our work with your friends. With your support, we will continue to feature fellow anglers, guides, and outfitters who can provide valuable insight into their region.
What’s Next for 2018
Our 2018 schedule will feature women anglers and guides. It will feature U.S. based bucket list locations we’ve never fished before. It will also feature exotic species and fisheries that are unique to a specific area. Most importantly, 2018 will focus on the healing properties of fly fishing. As a benefactor of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing – this will certainly be a labor of love.
