We don't just teach flyfishing, we teach angling.
"Where Flyfishing is still an honorable pastime"
We don't just teach flyfishing, we teach angling.
"Unless one can enjoy himself fishing with the fly, even when his
efforts are unrewarded, he loses much real pleasure. More than half
the intense enjoyment of fly fishing is derived from the beautiful
surroundings, the satisfaction felt from being in the open air, the new
lease of life secured thereby, and the many pleasant recollections of
all one has seen, heard, and done."

| Flyfishing Instruction. Joe & Amy Gablick. 30+ years experience. |
Every year, we have the privilege of introducing new people to the relaxing world of
Fly-Fishing. We take a unique and honest approach towards making you a complete
angler. From our simplified approach to fly selection,to helping you choose inexpensive,
yet high quality equipment, our course is geared towards saving you money. You see,
as a fly tyer, I am supposed to tell you that you need hundreds of flies and that you can
conveniently purchase them from me. Our honest approach is to give you the benefit of
our thirty years experience and tell you about all the flies you just don't need to carry.
We would like to thank those who have fished with us for their kind words and we look
forward to seeing some new faces this year. We are aware that you can't master this in
one session. Once you have learned the basics, we expect to spend some relaxing time
astream with you as friends. This is one of the unique aspects of our course and one that
other instruction courses conveniently forget about.

Our main goal is to use our experience to save you money
as you enter this relaxation. Quality instruction need not be
expensive. Many feel that the higher the price, the better
the instruction. If you truly believe in this sport and what it
teaches, then covering our costs is quite enough. The true
rewards come later.

| Casting For Recovery, founded in 1996, is a national non-profit support and educational program for women who have or have had breast cancer. CFR provides an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by the disease to gather in a beautiful, natural setting and learn fly-fishing, "a sport for life." Just as importantly, they offer an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun. CFR offers free retreats throughout the country, incorporating counseling, educational services and the sport of fly-fishing to promote mental and physical healing. Fly fishing techniques provide a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue mobility. The dynamics of fly fishing provide a healing connection to the natural world, relieving everyday stress and promoting a sense of calm. These retreats also offer a forum for women with similar experiences to meet, learn a new skill and gain a respite from their everyday concerns. Any woman who has experienced breast cancer is eligible to attend a retreat (with medical clearance from their physicians). Casting For Recovery relies on local volunteers and organizations to support their community based retreats. CFR is holding 34 retreats in 23 states this year. www.castingforrecovery.org Through the combined efforts of Wanda Taylor, Donna Teeny and Lefty Kreh, Temple Fork Outfitters has created two unique fly rods built specifically to benefit "Casting for Recovery"; an 8'6" 5 weight and a 9' 8 weight. CFR rods are built on translucent purple blanks with pink lettering inscribed with the words "Supporting Casting For Recovery & Hope" and will include a distinctive pink rod sock. A $25 contribution will be made to Casting For recovery for every CFR rod that is purchased through an authorized TFO dealer. |
| We are equiped and qualified to teach groups this relaxation. We are especially experienced at teaching groups of children. We are also available for free fly tying or fly casting demos. Please call or email for more details. 724-337-0437. We are also available to help with your Scouts Fly Fishing Merit Badge. |

| You've tried others in the local area and you were not happy. In fact, this is how we get most of our students. These were businessmen trying to get you to catch fish. It had very little to do with fly fishing. No amount of certification can teach you that fly fishing is much more than catching fish. If the instructors don't know it, how can they teach you? |
