OUR STORY

A CLOSER LOOK AT WHO WE ARE

OUR ROOTS

FLīCO was 25 years in the making. From the moment I first picked up a fly rod, my passion for fly fishing has only deepened. As an Arkansas native, these tailwaters have become a key part of my life. Countless hours on the water and at the tying vise have shaped my understanding of these rivers and their ecosystems. Fly fishing has always been more than a pastime—it’s a way to connect with the outdoors and find clarity. Over the years, I’ve seen these rivers evolve, and I’ve grown alongside them. What stands out most, though, is the privilege of guiding others. Being part of someone’s first successful cast or witnessing their excitement when they land a fish is deeply rewarding. These experiences make guiding far more than just a job.”

OUR MISSION

When we started FLīCO , we were focused on one goal: to offer the best fly fishing guide service in the area. We aimed to raise the bar, where “good enough” doesn’t cut it. It’s about more than just fishing—it’s about creating an environment where relationships can thrive, where learning and laughter are part of the experience, and where each trip becomes a core memory. From top-shelf gear to excellent boats and expert guides, we committed to delivering a high-quality experience in every aspect. We believe that good company makes for great fishing, and that’s what sets us apart.

THE MAYFLY PROJECT

We are proud volunteers with The Mayfly Project and support their mission:

“The Mayfly Project is a 501(c)(3) national organization that uses fly fishing as a catalyst to mentor and support children in foster care. The Mission of The Mayfly Project is to support children in foster care through fly fishing and introduce them to their local water ecosystems, with a hope that connecting them to a rewarding hobby will provide an opportunity for foster children to have fun, build confidence, and develop a meaningful connection with the outdoors.”
