Awesome for your Passion Day

Randy Faechner has been passionate about fly fishing since he was a child. These days, when he is not fly fishing, he’s teaching English at Paris Gibson in Great Falls. Last week, the faculty at Paris put on an event called Awesome for your Passion Day.

Teachers got to choose and present their passion to their students and students got to pick choices from bowling to cooking to tie dyeing t-shirts and of course, fly fishing from Randy.

In addition to getting the kids outside and showing them how to use a fly rod, Randy wanted to "impart on the students how important and precious the rivers are in Montana and that these rivers need our stewardship and protection."

Those are values we at North 40 hold dear and we are thankful that there are teachers like Randy out there working to spread the message.

We currently have several fly rods that were donated by our customers to our #PassItOn program.

Along with a couple dozen wooly buggers, we were happy to let Randy’s students use our #PassItOn rods. If you would like to be involved with our #PassItOn program or would like more details, stop by your local North 40 Fly Shop.
