Majority of the  proceeds go to benefit our friends at The Mayfly Project-

The Mayfly Project is a 501(c)(3) organization that uses fly fishing as a catalyst to mentor children in foster care. Our mission is to build relationships with children in foster care through fly fishing and introduce them to their local water ecosystems, with a hope that connecting them to a rewarding hobby will provide an opportunity for them to have fun, feel supported, and develop a meaningful connection with the outdoors.  The Mayfly Project's standard program is to mentor a foster child through five sessions we call "stages", just like the life cycle of a Mayfly.  Within these stages, the children learn line management, casting techniques, knot tying, etymology, river safety, mending tactics, hook setting, catch and release tactics and the value of conservation. At the end of the five stages the child is given his or her very own fly rod, reel, pack, fly box, flies, tippet, indicators, etc.  Each project is unique and may contain more or less stages, but the goal is to provide a well-round and safe fly fishing experience for children in foster care.

Learn more about The Mayfly Project HERE!

New this year! A portion of the proceeds will also benefit previous benefactors such as Reel Recovery, Project Healing Waters and Casting for Recovery. Depending on the support we get, up to $200.00 will go to each of these organizations.

Another Fun and Successful F3T

THANKS!

Another fun and successful Fly Fishing Film Tour at the Gateway Film Center here in Columbus last night.

We wanted to be sure and extend a HUGE THANKS to all who came out and supported a great cause. We raised some awareness...and some money..... for the great folks at Reel Recovery. 

Was extremely inspiring this morning to open e-mails and social media messages from folks who want to volunteer to help to put on a RR Event here in Columbus. We're keeping a list and let you know as details emerge. All of us here at MRO TRULY appreciate the support and friendship that you all show us.

Look for a video update when we get the total donation tallied and Brian presents the check!

We did good Columbus!
