ORVIS made a sizeable donation to the SKIFF (Soldiers’ Kids Involved in Fishing Fun) Program run by the Austin Fly Fishers and me.

We’re all very appreciative this effort. This greatly enhances our ability to put more boys and girls on the water this year and next while their moms and dads serve our country in harm’s way.

Great people, great store — I hope the fishing community allows for their success in the years to come!
