One year in Business

It’s crazy to think how far this has come in a year. I started off with an idea just to sell a few flies in my spare time. It’s grown into shipping flies across the world, doing events, consulting, and putting together a class. In the beginning, I just tied whatever patterns I knew how to tie, and offered a few patterns that I came up with. About 6 months in, everyone requested the PGH Fly Co signature patterns, so my business plan changed. I’ve seen hundred of fish caught on things I thought up in my brain and made a reality. My favorite thing is getting the picture with a fly of mine in its mouth, that makes any stress worth it! I’ve learned to do a crazy amount of things in the past year. I’ve learned a bit of graphic design, website design, photography, marketing, networking, social media management, clothing manufacturing, and a lot about customer service. Looking back through pictures I took in the beginning of my journey, it’s crazy to see how far it’s come. Not only in picture quality but in product quality. I’ve really focused on offering a durable fly only tied with quality materials. I’ve gotten in with some of the best manufacturers in the world.
