World Class Programs
Programs that promote wellness and angling experiences
- We provide program support to groups in need of the rehabilitation properties that fishing can provide while promoting environmental stewardship and clean water. Seeing a need for soldier and at-risk programs, we formed our organization to provide on water solutions to help others. Angling provides a meaningful and rewarding activity for those dealing with seen and unseen challenges.
For many years we have provided outstanding fishing programs to military veterans, youth groups, and others in need. We utilize historic locations and iconic fishing destinations to enhance the experience of our guests being instructed by top anglers in the country and world. Progressive methods are taught so guests may return to their own home waters and catch with their family and friends. We make our guests "able" to go fishing with enjoyment.
Cast-Lead-Follow Programs
Overview: Guests come to better their fishing techniques and make friends. Attendees and guides will fish with the goal of increasing the skill set required to put fish in the net through progressive fishing methods.
Cast yourself away from the life's trappings and head to the water. Lead others to the water. Follow the water to peace, tranquility, joy, adventure & companionship.
The America Cup provides youth clinics to introduce young anglers to the joys of fishing, catch and release practices, and conservation education. Youth are encouraged to become good stewards of their fisheries and practice clean water habits.
Goals of Youth Programs
- Expose children, who may not otherwise get the opportunity, to the sport of fishing and the enjoyment of the outdoors.
- Encourage continued participation in fishing by developing skills in the children along with their parents.
- Spread a positive message that all kids are capable despite disabilities. We include all children and give them the opportunity to feel like any other kid.
- Provide education and understanding to children about fish as a natural resource.
- Strengthen local communities through a positive relational experience between local groups, parents and kids.

On behalf of our organization, I encourage you to be part of The America Cup. “ Gordy Rothoff, Trip Leader
“Fly fishing has given me a chance to ease my mind. There is no peace quite like being on the river surrounded by surreal beauty with only a friend, Mother Nature, and yourself. When I leave the river, I feel rejuvenated and optimistic. My time spent fly fishing with new friends is the best therapy that I have found since I was injured. I thank our organization from the bottom of my heart for working together and allowing me to participate in this special week. “ Mike, Soldier
