Casting for inclusivity, catching community
FLY FISHING IS GAY...
...and we're all about it! Though folks online use the phrase as a running joke and insult to fly fishing and fly anglers, at FlyCurious, we take it in stride and quite literally. Whether you're tying your first fly or mastering the perfect cast, we’re here to guide folks from the LGBTQ+ community and our staunch allies every step of the way. Through inclusive instruction and a commitment to conservation, we aim to bridge the knowledge gap, break down barriers, and create a space where everyone feels represented and celebrated - and make fly fishing even more gay!
