Outdoor & Fly Fishing
Legendary Fly Gear
Find the water. Find the guide. Find the gear.
“Fish like a legend”
The problem
A fly-fishing trip is still planned across a state agency site, a flow gauge, a guide's Facebook page, a forum thread and a phone call. The guides and shops who make the trip possible are small, local and mostly invisible online.
In short
A fly-fishing discovery marketplace: waters and access, river flows, local guides and fly shops, gear and field guides, and a community where anglers share their trips. It is built to become the place a fly-fishing trip is planned — destination, guide, budget and kit — with a guide or shop claiming its own page rather than paying to be found.
