A Lifelong Obsession With Fly Fishing.

Metcalfe Fly Cast is built on decades of putting in the footwork, exploring river systems and creeks, reading water, observing fish patterns and behaviour, and constantly working to crack the code of what makes fish move, feed and respond.
​
That knowledge has been earned one stretch of water, one season and one breakthrough at a time. It is a lifelong obsession with understanding fish, refining technique and continually becoming a more capable angler.
​
Metcalfe Fly Cast brings all of that experience to the water without the ego. Just serious knowledge, genuine passion, good fishing and a laid-back approach that keeps it fun.
