What Is Cast Hope?

Cast Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization looking to bless people with the gift of fly fishing. We exist to support, encourage, honor, and thank the youth and adults of our local community.

Cast Hope values relationships and community – it is our mission to create an environment where positively impacting relationships are created or strengthened. Whether parent and child, grandparent and grandchild, teacher and student, or mentor and mentee, we want to bring people together and lift them up through fly fishing.

Who Is Cast Hope?

Through a collection of generous, caring, and exceptional fly fishing guides and volunteers we are able to give free outdoor experiences on the water to the youth of Northern California. For Cast Hope guides, guiding is a passion lived out every day. They love connecting with people and sharing their knowledge of fly fishing. Our desire is to empower these youth to make fly fishing a sport they can do on their own. Several times a year we offer fly fishing events that do just that. We provide our veteran Cast Hope kids with free rods, reels, lines, flies, and fly tying kits in hopes that one day fly fishing will become a healthy hobby they come to love.

When you love something, the best response is to give it away, to make it grow. So our desire is to Cast Hope -- to give others something to look forward to, something to enjoy, something to look back on, something that will positively impact their lives.
