QUOTES
“I am hopelessly addicted to fishing, it’s ridiculous really. I used to hide a make-shift fly rod behind a tree outside an old employer’s office. During my lunch break I’d fish with a sapling branch, some thin cordage for line, a bent, sharpened sewing needle and whatever fuzz or yarn blew into the parking lot that day.
I found it endlessly entertaining to fish with this minimal and comically basic equipment. I’d catch pumpkinseeds and sunnies like crazy, then switched to pickerel and large mouth bass with this slap-together setup, and it made me realize that you don't need all that fancy-dancy gear to get a little practice in at ponds and streams that wouldn’t be considered traditional fishing spots.”
-Paul Osimo, lo-fli designer & founder
"Use it while on vacation, use it while on a hike, use it at that spot you pass everyday on your way home from work, use it during your lunch break, use it in hopelessly tight spots, use it in beautiful wide open spots, use it to fill that missing spot in your fly gear collection or use it as your only piece of fly equipment. No matter how you use it, use it to have fun.
-Paul Osimo, lo-fli designer & founder
