Journey on the Fly guides

Adam Korman Owner/lead guide

I am an avid fly fisherman. Above and beyond that I am a husband, father and a pursuer of truth, beauty and goodness. Fly fishing, as many of you know, has an amazing way of teaching us about living. Not only that, the fact that chasing trout always takes you into the most beautiful of places on God’s green earth.

This journey as a business started a few years ago as I pondered the value of increasing my knowledge and skills for a deeper reason than just self-satisfaction. I wanted to give what I had received. Thus, Journey on the Fly Guide Service was born in my heart and mind. At times we will be joined by my son (who is always asking how he can serve) and fellow guides as needed based on your group size. 

So, my approach is different than many. I think we are all guests in a trout stream. I simply act as the liaison between my guided guests and the inhabitants of the stream. At the very bottom, my modest goal, is to inspire others to find and pursue purpose. 

Remember, it’s the journey that makes us.

“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable; a perpetual series of occasions for hope.” – John Buchan.

I found the joy of fishing when I was old enough to walk, but it was not until I was in my early teens that I discovered a passion for fly fishing. The challenge begins well before your flies hit the stream. It involves more that just learning how to tie the fly, which rod or knot to choose, how to cast the line, and the skill behind using this specific equipment. It is doing the research and gaining the knowledge to develop an understanding of the workings of the environment in which fish live. It is learning how the water behaves, the impact of the seasons, the foods that they eat in their natural habitat. How the entire  process comes together at the steam. No one person could ever be a master at fly fishing, but the gift is the ability to connect to nature and share this experience with others.
