Announcing the CFS September Member Drive
Let's fund a Photarium—and find this mystery fish—for fly fishing education
Ahoy! We're building something special at Current Flow State—a community where your experience in fly fishing education and creative culture comes first. Not manufacturer interests, or gear sales, or promoting far-off destinations. Our overriding goal is to help make fly fishing a bigger part of your life, every day, wherever you are.
This month, as part of our September Member Drive, we're looking to recruit 10 new CFS Explorers to endorse our mission of creating thoughtful, independent fly fishing content and building a community of practice where we help each other spend more time on the water.
Why be part of this community?
When you join our educational community, you get:
Deep learning access 🎓
Scouting Sessions, where I take you through my spot research method step-by-step
Community support 🎣
A pass to the Fishcord Discord, where anglers share knowledge and experiences
Educational pathways 💡
Annual goal-setting workshops and an ongoing outlet for advice and discussion
Gear and event discounts 💰
Discounted event access and gear deals (we recently got a killer wader deal)
Mission Input 📋
A voice in shaping what educational content we create next
But wait, there's more:
Are you ready to fill up this fish, and reveal the mystery species? For every new Explorer that joins in September we will unveil a new piece of the mystery fish.
The first reader to email me and guess the species—after we've revealed the first four pieces—will win a special prize.
PLUS: Your support helps us see more fish 🔬
Above and beyond the perks you unlock, proceeds from new Explorer memberships this September will help fund a Photarium for use during our classes and events. Photariums are safe and secure ways for us to keep fish out of the water for a few minutes, to observe them without doing them undue harm.
Ready to support fly fishing education and help us get a Photarium for class?
Gratefully,
Nick
Enabling Indie Media
"Nick," you're asking, "Where's this sudden burst of WWF-meets-NPR energy coming from?"
Well, I'm one of 34 creator journalists working together this month to assert ourselves and the value of independent media. Check out some of the cohort's projects, and diversify your media diet:
