Welcome

Welcome to the website of Ken Morrow, one of America’s most innovative fly fishing instructors.  What drives Ken’s quest for outside-the-box approaches to the traditional art of catching fish with feathers and fur?  ACCESSIBILITY!  For Ken, finding ways to make fly fishing more inclusive is the grail.  Reducing and eliminating the historical barriers and pitfalls that prevent or discourage people from enjoying the sport of fly fishing is Ken’s highest purpose as a fly fishing instructor.  Some of the most common barriers and pitfalls are:

• Fear of the unknown
• Being intimidated by learning new skills as an adult
• Confusion caused by the unfamiliar equipment and terminology
• Perceived cost of acquiring sufficient gear to fish independently
• Uncertainty and confusion bred by marketing hype and media
• Lack of mentors and fly fishing buddies
• Limitations imposed by physical or mental disabilities or conditions

Ken’s methods focus on simplicity, effectiveness, affordability, and therapeutic adaptation for people with special needs.  If you have been hesitating to give fly fishing or fly tying a try, you want to improve or expand your fly casting skills, or you know someone whose ability to enjoy time in the great outdoors is limited by a medical or developmental condition, get in touch with Ken today.  You may be pleasantly surprised at just how easy it can be to achieve your goals.  After all, (as Ken says) it’s just fishin’!
