Mending Lines

Through immersive, hands-on educational retreats, the All Kids Fish program seeks to ignite a passion for fly fishing and conservation among young people. Each full-day retreat welcomes children ages 10 to 18 to jump feet-first into the captivating world of fly fishing. But this program is about more than just fishing—it’s about fostering a deep connection with nature, instilling a sense of environmental responsibility, and empowering the next generation to become passionate stewards of our rivers and the wildlife they support.

Understanding how to “mend” your line on a trout stream can greatly increase your odds of success. Another way of “mending lines” has nothing to do with the success of a cast, but rather it involves the spirit of giving and sharing.

These ‘mending lines’ are hands that reach out to others who may not have the opportunity to enjoy our sport. Whether a wounded warrior, a physically or mentally challenged child, a woman diagnosed with cancer… for many, the best therapy is to gather with anglers and experience the quiet, gentle art of fly fishing.

All spaces on this page are donated to honor those willing to share their time and resources to spread the joy of fly fishing.
