Much of what we love about fly fishing comes from a reverence for nature; the serene landscapes it takes us, the skies filled with billowing clouds, the birds and bugs flitting through the air, and of course the opportunity to be in awe of the fish we catch.
Bringing a new angler into the sport is just as much about passing on this adoration for nature as teaching the how-to and the why of fly fishing.
So, show up. Be there for your fishing mentee. Take them outdoors to explore. Take them to the river to admire and be observant. They’ll absorb your admiration for all the parts that make our sport so special.
