When you support Ubuntu Fly Anglers, you support this. Casting in the Park 2025 is more than an event, it’s community in action.
This past September, during the "We Are Here" event in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, the Ubuntu leadership team partnered with BIPOC Outdoors Twin Cities to bring people together for a day of casting, education, food, and fun.
These gatherings center Black and Brown anglers as leaders and educators, creating welcoming spaces for all while affirming that BIPOC anglers belong, lead, and teach in the sport.
Thank you to Justin Carfagnini for capturing these moments behind the lens.
