Philosophy

SCco. believes in using fly fishing to empower lives and making it accessible for EVERYBODY.

My mission?

  • Show everyone how capable they are

  • Help folks enrich their lives through fly fishing

  • Inspire others to live their most fulfilled lives by living mine as an example

Fly fishing has always been a conduit to enriching our lives, and I’ve been blessed to have it a part of mine for 25 years.

The curriculum I’ve created and tested over the last 7 of those years is designed to teach thoroughly and quickly, so that the learning curve is full of success and empowerment.

Through a combination of paid-for education and free resources on Instagram, my goal is to disseminate fly fishing and it’s benefits across socioeconomic barriers.

What’s up with the coven?

The concept of a fly fishing coven happened organically. After years of culminating a tight-knit river-made community, one of the members lovingly referred to it as “the coven.” A good chuckle, but on deeper inspection, the word checks out.

Historically, coven members have been those who go against the grain of society and embrace nature. Folks who turn their backs on convention and cultivate their own personal power- both together and separately- in spite of the social standards. Covens are progressive, challenge the status quo and are open to everybody. When it came time to brand, the choice was obvious.

Why You Succeed with a Coven. co education.

  • SCco. teaching is derived from Behavior Analysis. Complicated goals (like learning to fly fish) are broken down into manageable, approachable steps that are properly supported and reinforced.

    Steps are objective, straightforward, measurable, and practicable at home. No more learning fly fishing with vague analogies, subjective advice, and uncertain results.

    When you invest in a Streamside Coven retreat, you’re investing in programming with over 1,000 hour’s worth of testing built into the curriculum.

  • Coming into your power is not solely the result of learning to fly fish. The emotional and mental journey is key, and works in tandem with the physical skills.

    Actionable, grounded cognitive goals are built into SCco. programming. These help support healthy mentalities while reducing common performance pitfalls. When your mind is in check, your goals can be reached faster and with a greater sense of empowerment.

  • Immersive learning speaks for itself. SCco. multi-day experiences give you repetition and an enriched environment for learning.

  • SCco. curriculum is designed to lead and support students as they meet their fly fishing goals. Actionable workbooks and troubleshooting techniques allow students to overcome feelings of being “stuck” in their education. Empowerment is, after all, the goal here.

“I can’t even express how much I recommend this…to everyone! Kristen has mentored me from clueless to confident on the water. And I’ve never had a better time fishing or hanging out. Do this! No matter where you are in your fly fishing journey, you won’t regret it.”

Hailey B.

“Today, women are debating whether we should ‘bring our whole selves to work’ or not, but Kristen long-ago decided that she’s 100% in. What sets her apart is her ability to read people just as well as she reads the water. Wherever you are in your fly-fishing journey, she will eagerly meet you there. I am a very new angler, falling rapidly down the fly-fishing-rabbit-hole; on a recent trip, Kristen was able to address my barrage of questions, and then she would connect those [seemingly disconnected] questions to an immediate skill-based action - magic! To lift women up and to watch them find their confidence by “fishing independently” is genuinely the joy of her life and that energy is wholly felt on her trips. Remember to ‘set an intention’ and request the Portobello Fajitas.”

Mikayla M.

“This is education that takes ‘cannot’ out of your vocabulary and ‘imposter syndrome’ out of the equation. Kristen’s mentorship will absolutely elevate your confidence and then send you off on your independent journey on the water!”
