Fly fishing holds within itself many character building tools as well as life lessons. Wading waist deep in rushing water, shows the undeniable strength and power of a raging river, and nature in its natural form. The importance of patience as well as persistence, cast after cast, trying to achieve the perfect presentation to an eager audience who can spot the "impostures" from a mile away...only to scorn them with a rising of the nose, and a quick look away! Hearing nature awake to start its busy day, as the sun peaks over the Eastern mountains, shows us how many things that we take for granted in our "busy" day... Things that don't know, or care for that matter, that we and our first world problems exist. It is a time for complete silence of the mouth and the mind, in which we connect with our surroundings and try our best to become one with it. Fly fishing to me, is much more than standing in water, trying to catch a fish....it's a way of life, that can effect the soul in an extremely rich and positive manner!

Backcountry Believer is a company based on promoting the experience of adventure that the backcountry has to offer. Though the definition of "Backcountry" may differ from person to person, I believe that we can all agree that the escape from the daily grind, to the wilderness is something to truly believe in! My main goal is spread the word to the unknowing, just what all activities can be enjoyed in the. I hope to have a little bit of merchandise soon, profits from the merch will be used to fund trail maintenance in my area as well as a youth Outdoor experience program. Please join me in supporting the movement! Follow on Instagram @backcountrybeliever and tag us in your backcountry adventures!
