Brian Counselman, Malcolm Shabazz City High School

I just wanted to reach out to thank you all for another year of PGT support. We had a really great group of students this year and lots of terrific support from SWTU guides and fly fishing enthusiasts beyond (thanks to the amazing guide wrangling of Danny and Ellie again!) to make for some really formative experiences for our young people. One student, Phoebe, went home with a new Dave Fowler crafted rod (she was very excited!) and a number of other students are planning to purchase their rods at the end of the year.

As we were out in Avalanche, Tina and I kept being continually impressed with our students’ enthusiasm for both fly fishing and general adventuring in nature. Leaves me hopeful for both the state of PGT as well our world more broadly quite honestly. In our topsy turvy world, just wanted to let you know that you definitively helped contribute to some lifelong memories, experiences, and skills for some young people that will hopefully carry the touch for fly fishing, outdoor recreation, restoration, and innovative education into the future.

I appreciate all the support!
