The Mayfly Project Los Angeles

FISH ON & ON! 🐟✨

That’s a wrap on our 5th season and our final outing of 2026!
We celebrated in style with 🪰fly tying, 🎒new gear, 🎣fishing, and of course a 🪅 piñata party!

From learning "River & Lake Etiquette" to mastering the "Rule of 3" for safety, it’s been an incredible journey watching these young anglers grow.

These first five years have been truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing kids, dedicated parents, tireless mentor volunteers, and donors who make this community so special. You are the heart of this project! 🫶🏼

Applications for next season will be posted soon. Keep an 👀 out for our post.

🎣 Seeking Wisdom & Catching Waves! 🌊
​Outing #4 of The Mayfly Project Los Angeles was one for the books! We traded the lakes and riverbanks for the surf zone and headed to the beach to learn the art of salt-water fly fishing.

​Our theme for the day was Seeking Wisdom, and our amazing mentees truly leaned in asking great questions, staying curious, and showing what it means to be a true angler.

​Here’s a look at our day:
​📖 Reading the Water: Learning how to spot where the fish are hiding in the surf.
​🦀 Conservation & Habitat: Discussing how to keep our oceans clean and full of life.
​🛡️ Safety First: Perfecting our "shuffle" to stay safe in the sand!
​🐚 Bracelets & Buttons: Celebrating our milestones and new skills.
​From fly tying to landing fish, the energy was electric. There’s nothing quite like the sound of the waves and the sight of a perfect cast meeting the ocean.
​A huge thank you to our mentors and community for making this beach day so special. We’re already counting down to the next one!
