It’s a very cool grassroots barnstorming concept that builds interest in the sport, and drives business to shops. You should tune in…
Sage hits the road once again to bring its On The Water Tour to a new part of the U.S. After a successful tour out West in 2016, Sage will bring this fun and informative format to the Southeast this spring and summer.
“We had so many popular stops on our 2016 tour that we decided to replicate that in a new area of the country,” said David Lantz, Sage brand manager. “The Southeast has spectacular rivers and beaches with very passionate fly fishermen, so we couldn’t be more excited to visit them on this year’s tour.”
Starting on beautiful rivers around the Appalachia area and finishing on the flats in Florida, this tour offers anglers an opportunity to bring fellow anglers together to share knowledge and good times. The van is loaded with mountains of rods and reels to try out, and attendees can learn from casting lessons and presentations all while enjoying good food and drink. Anglers can try out new gear, pick up a tip or two or simply share good stories. All are welcome.
