Mission
We help fly fishermen capture, organize, and store their observations on the water and research off the water — so they can maintain a knowledge base, extract insights from it, and make the most of their time on the water.
About
Fly fishing is my biggest hobby. I dedicate more time to fly fishing than anything else. I spend a lot of time on the water actually fishing. I also spend a lot of time preparing—researching, tying flies, maintaining gear, packing, traveling, watching fish porn, daydreaming about fishing when I should be paying attention to something (less) important.
I spend comparatively little (read: zero) time documenting my time on the water.
The most successful fishermen are always learning. They are highly observant, and they use their observations to inform their tactics. They think outside the box and try new techniques. If they are successful, they ask “Why?” and learn from it. If they are unsuccessful, they ask “Why?”, learn from it, and change their approach.
I expect that dedicating even a small amount of time to observing and documenting will benefit my fishing.
That is my main goal for this project—to become a better fly fisherman by documenting my time on the water. I am applying a “deliberate practice” philosophy to my fly fishing outings and building a knowledge base to aid my endeavor.
