Creating sustainable solutions to poverty and human trafficking.
Fly Fishing Collaborative began with a bold idea: What if our passion for fly fishing could help protect women and children from exploitation?
Today, we mobilize the global fly fishing and outdoor community to build aquaponic farms, create jobs, and mentor vulnerable youth. Every product we sell, every trip we host, and every dollar we raise goes directly to prevention.
We empower families. We fuel hope.
Fish Well. Do Good.
It’s more than a motto. It’s a mission.
We take our passion for fly fishing and turn it into real action.
We build farms, create jobs, and protect kids from human trafficking.
Because fishing isn’t just what we love. It’s how we fight for what matters most.
Why This Mission Is Personal
Our founder, Bucky Buchstaber, knows what it feels like to be unwanted.
Abandoned as a child, he wrestled with worth, identity, and the pain of being overlooked.
Years later, standing in a river with a fly rod in hand, he caught a vision. What if this simple passion could help protect kids who feel the same way he once did?
That question sparked Fly Fishing Collaborative. The story begins here.
Watch Bucky’s story and see how one life became a movement.
