The Mayfly Project is a game changer for so many youth impacted by foster care. 🎣💙

Learning the healing power of being in nature, spending time with trusting adults, finding “brain rest” through casting, and experiencing the feel of cool water around your legs can be just as important as catching that fish!

The Mayfly Project is what it’s all about! 🎣💙

It’s so much more than fly fishing—it’s about brain rest, mentorship, belonging, and giving youth in foster care a place to just be. 🐟🌿

Do you know the health of your water?
Fly anglers look for macroinvertebrates to understand stream health, discover what fish are eating, and choose flies that imitate nature. Read the water, know what’s living beneath the surface, and fish smarter.
