In short, Building anglers is an educational Initiative to Help those who wish to be better prepared to take full advantage of their time saltwater fly fishing.
The reasoning behind Building Anglers.
The salt can be intimidating, but so can anything for which preparation is necessary. Demystifying or breaking down fly fishing in saltwater helps remove that intimidation.
Time on a flats skiff will teach you something every time you go. Confidence so you are not too overwhelmed to learn those things will make you a better angler every time you head out.
There is an abundance of classes and instruction on casting to be had, and that is obviously very important, but that is only one piece of being a great angler.
Across all types of fly fishing there are many tools of the trade. Having the right tools and knowing how to get the most out of them is paramount to being prepared for what happens on the water.
Shallow water fly fishing from a skiff is usually a team sport. Whether the other team member is a friend or guide, understanding the roles of each is key to taking advantage of the easy shots, and more importantly, making the tough days still count.
The best anglers adjust to the situations they find themselves in. They aren’t lucky, instead they are instinctive because they are prepared.
