Adventure Bound

For Matt Reck, fly fishing isn't just a hobby; it's an obsession. He was first introduced to the sport at 8 years old, during a family trip to Yellowstone National Park. From that point forward, he has become totally immersed with all things fly fishing and has recently taken up the art of tying his own flies. Matt is also a Navy Pilot, avid traveller and founder of the Fly Fishing Nomad Blog, which inspires people to get outside and experience the magic that only fast moving rivers can provide.
