My son Arley is one of those kids who lives for his screens. He has anxiety and doesn’t like leaving the house. However, when it’s time to go fishing with Clint, he is there, no questions asked!
Arley hates downtime. He detests being bored. It blows my mind that he has been fishing with Clint, every week, for months. Clint’s knowledge of fishing makes it exciting for Arley. He always comes home with a smile and a story.
Since Arley has been fishing with Clint, we have seen his demeanor change. He has become far more independent. He is happier, calmer, kinder and more adventurous and has even made a friend because of his interest in fishing. We could not be happier with the change in our boy, and we truly believe a huge part of it is due to Clint and his fishing adventures.
Highly recommended!!

Cooper and Grace always love their fishing sessions with Clint!
​
He has so much patience for them when their patience is running low, he teaches the basis skills they need to often catch fish, and he keeps them engaged more than most people do,
​
I highly recommend these fishing programs.

Clint holds this space so well. My 9 year old refuses to be in a teacher/child dynamic, which this is not. My kid feels safe to attend, with his autonomy intact, in a relaxed and casual way. It's been a pleasure to attend the casual fishing classes with my kid, I quiz Clint and skill up every session. He's patient and generous (with the parents <wink>) and has a grounded presence with the kids. Thoughtful guidance and humour lead the way for the kids to fall in love with their new skill.
