“My husband is an avid fisherman and I’ve always wanted to see what the hype was about…but I was too afraid to tag along with “the guys” for fear of making a fool of myself.

Secretly, I started taking casting lessons from Samantha, and now I’m a better angler than my hubby! My advice to any woman who hasn’t tried fishing because they’re nervous/don’t know how to take the first step: just do it. Samantha is kind, patient, welcoming and a HUGE cheerleader.”

“I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this my whole life!….I received lessons with Sam as a gift from a friend, and was weary to book them because I honestly didn’t know a thing about fishing…and I thought it was gross that I would be using worms, HA-HA! All I can say, is that I never in a million years would have expected fly fishing to be so fun, but also relaxing and rewarding. Sam, thank you for making it your mission to share your passion of fly fishing with other women - I’ll be gifting lessons to my daughters for Christmas!

“Sam is an amazing teacher and it’s clear she loves sharing the sport with other women. I booked a lesson package on a whim and never expected to have so much fun. After 3 days on the water, I was hooked (lol). I booked more lessons with Sam to work on my casting skills, but I feel confident getting on the water alone!”
