In every river, on every drift, and on every adventure… there are three types of fly fishermen.

Today we’re breaking down the archetypes that shape how we learn, explore, compete, mentor, and grow on the water:

• The Seeker — driven by curiosity, discovery, and the hunger to learn.
• The Competitor — fueled by challenge, precision, and personal mastery.
• The Companion — anchored in connection, mentorship, and shared purpose.

In this video, we dive deep into what each type brings to the river, how they develop over time, and how understanding these three archetypes can transform your fly fishing journey—from technique and mindset to how you approach every cast.

Whether you're chasing trout in a quiet mountain stream, drifting for steelhead, or helping a friend catch their first fish… you will see yourself somewhere in these three anglers.

Which one are you? Drop it in the comments.
