Educating on nature and conservation through angling

The aim is to inspire young people to try fly fishing and to increase their awareness of nature, fish and rivers. Most fly fishing in the area is under catch and release licenses, therefore it is an ideal way to connect with nature without having a negative impact on fish stocks. Since fly fishing is an expensive sport and most children have difficulties starting it, the project offers guided beginner trips with professional fly-fishing guides, which provide all the necessary equipment. It also includes a socio-economic study to evaluate the economic benefits for the area, that explores the expenditure and average stay of the angling tourists, as well as their main attraction to the area.
