Serene Cusack of Fatty on the Fly
Being outside isn't always easy or Instagram perfect. We love following Serene because of her honesty in both the ups and downs of her time spent outside, how she embraces the feeling of learning, and encourages everyone around her to dive into things they've never considered. Interested in fly fishing? Check out some of her events with theĀ Confluence Collective.
