Everyone has been going through some rough times during this pandemic. Many fly fishing guides around the country are hurting badly due to trips being cancelled. This is their lively hood and they are really struggling right now. If you can reach out to your favourite guide and check in with them, book a trip for later in the season, or even buy a gift certificate will help them get through this tough time. A little goes a long way. I am not saying fishing guides are suffering more than others but if you can help them out. #SAVETHESEAON
