Setting your fly-fishing intentions: The CFS Check-in
Check-in with your goals and intentions at the start of every fishing season, or calendar year.

Learning fly-fishing library. To support this work, consider becoming a member.
Renew your license. Throw out your old leaders. Check your waders for leaks. There are certain rituals we, as anglers, go through at the start of every season.
If you're interested in making fly-fishing a bigger part of your life, then setting some intentions around your goals, and the commitments you'll make to reach them, should be part of that annual ritual.
The Check-in is frequently something I use in conversations with paid Members around developing their plans. We have a call towards the start of the year to debrief on how things went, and how their skills are developing, and where they might go next year. I send along tools and resources to give them 1-1 support.
Try it out, set some goals, and see how you measure up.
