When an angler casts a line, the ripples don’t stop at the surface. They expand outward, reaching places unseen. At Ragati River Fly Company, we believe the same is true of our work. Every handcrafted fly, every piece of art, and every order carries with it a story and a responsibility. Our commitment to giving back begins with a promise: 10% of our profits go directly to causes that matter: our communities, our veterans, our rivers, and our Kenyan artisans. Because to us, fly fishing has always been more than sport. It’s about stewardship, service, and honoring the waters and people that sustain us. 

Here’s how we’re working to turn compassion into action, one priority at a time.

Priority 1 - Elevating the Standard of Living for Our Kenyan Artisans

Every handcrafted fly you hold tells a story that begins in the hands of skilled artisans in Kenya. Their artistry is breathtaking, but their access to basic resources is often fragile. That’s why our first priority is ensuring our partners and their families flourish. We’ve structured our commitment in two critical areas:

• Medical Access: Establishing a community fund to help cover healthcare needs for our Kenyan tyers and their families.

• Educational Scholarships: Providing consistent access to primary education for their children, ensuring that opportunity doesn’t stop where poverty begins.

This is compassionate capitalism in action, where business success fuels human dignity. When you fish with our flies or display our art, you’re not just supporting a craft. You’re uplifting lives.

Priority 2 - Affecting Change in Our Local Communities

We believe in service. To country. To neighbor. To one another. That’s why we extend a 10% discount to customers who serve their local communities and our nation. But our commitment doesn’t stop there. We’re passionate about ensuring that the healing power of the outdoors is accessible to everyone. That means:

• Helping disabled veterans find restoration in rivers, trails, and wild spaces.

• Supporting underprivileged communities in gaining access to national parks and outdoor pursuits that feed both body and soul.

Because fly fishing isn’t just about the catch, it’s about connection, healing, and belonging.

Priority 3 - Supporting Conservation Efforts

Clean water is a resource and a lifeline. Without thriving rivers, there are no trout rising to a mayfly hatch, no bass lurking under lily pads, no quiet evenings spent listening to the ripple of a current. That’s why part of every purchase you make at RRFC supports conservation groups working tirelessly to keep our waters clean, accessible, and wild. Your handcrafted flies and custom art aren’t just tools or decorations—they’re small acts of preservation. Theodore Roosevelt once said:

“There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.”

We hold that vision close. At Ragati River Fly Co., our third priority is to preserve the rivers that give us life.

We are committed to working with trusted conservation organizations to protect waters across the United States—ensuring that generations to come can wade, cast, and dream in pristine streams, just as we do today.

Why Giving Back Matters

Fly fishing teaches us patience. It teaches us respect. And most importantly, it teaches us gratitude for the waters, for the fish, and for the communities that surround us.

At RRFC, giving back is not an afterthought, it’s our way of honoring the gift we’ve been given. Every fly tied, every piece of art painted, and every order shipped is part of something bigger: a ripple of change that begins with you. So when you fish with our flies or hang our art on your wall, know this—you are part of a movement that uplifts families, heals veterans, and protects rivers. Together, we’re casting for more than fish. We’re casting for hope.
