Founding Principles
We operate under the
FISH Philosophy
Freedom: We are grateful for our Freedom, especially, to those who sacrificed and continue to sacrifice to protect us abroad and at home in our communities. This includes our Veterans, Active Military and our First Responders. We use fishing as our way of giving back and showing our gratitude to those who protect our Freedom.
Inclusivity:
We believe fishing as a way to bind our community members together. Accepting all anglers and respecting our neighbors regardless of race, orientation, gender, or religion.
Safety & Sustainability:
We believe it is of utmost importance to protect our environment, be respectful to Mother Nature, conserve our fish populations and operate safely at all times. Education surrounding safety and sustainability will help us preserve our resources for generations.
Health:
The act of fishing can be a healing and therapeutic way to mend the mind, body and spirit. We believe being active within the outdoors and engaging in a healthy hobby within nature can benefit those struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses.
