Please forward your license confirmation email to `flyfishing@nourgroup.com` and print a physical copy to bring with you.
9. Waivers - 5280 Anglers Fishing Private Waters; The Nour Group Participation - Mandatory: Although fly fishing is not inherently dangerous, accidents can happen.

Four decades of exploring stunning rivers around the world. As long as I can remember, I'm at my happiest holding a rod, and reel and wading in a river. The serenity of it all, the stunning landscape (after all fish don't live in ugly places), and the fundamental challenge of presenting something synthetic to appear natural to the fish at the right time, in the right manner, is exciting and challenging to me.
