For this Giving Tuesday, we decided to shake things up a bit at HQ with the 2023 Flylords Gear Drive. Odds are, you probably have some waders or boots that don’t fit anymore, a rod or reel you don’t use as much or a fishing pack that you’ve upgraded. If they’re in good shape, send them to us and we’ll donate them to kids in need through the Mayfly Project, or veterans who are learning to fish to fight their PTSD through Project Healing Waters.
