What does fly fishing mean to you? What about fly fishing offers you most satisfaction?
Fly fishing is about connecting to nature. Getting away from the constant stimulation and stress of our modern lifestyles and . . . . stopping to just BE THERE in the moment.
I like to just be present and listen to the water, the ripples, and the birds. Leave the buzzing phone behind. It will be there when you get back.
What does having AZ Fly Shop in the community mean to you? What do you like about AZ Fly Shop?
Since meeting the wonderful folks of AZ Fly Shop, I have been welcomed as a contributor to the greater fly fishing community. I am able to serve as a link for the Casting for Recovery Arizona ladies and volunteers. We have a great time helping with meals for special events or counting the innumerable flies when the end-of-year inventory is due.
I have enjoyed the raffles winning a fishing rod and then purchasing a reel.
