Fly Fishing in Manhattan Get launch news

Coming [LAUNCH SEASON]

She'll fish
anywhere.

One girl. One dad. One day in New York City.
And a fly line that goes everywhere it shouldn't.

A curly red-haired girl in green overalls casts her fly line in a wide arc across the page — and her fly lands right on the back of the massive Wall Street bull

Today's catch

She's not catching fish. Here's what she reeled in instead.

From inside the Statue of Liberty's crown, the girl casts her line out over the harbor — a very surprised seagull is snagged mid-flight, trailing the line as it flaps away

Statue of Liberty

A seagull — from the crown

At the Times Square barricades, the girl's fly wraps around a TV host's long green patterned scarf and yanks the startled woman off her feet in a flying spin, microphone tumbling

Times Square

A TV star's scarf

On Fifth Avenue, the girl's fly lifts a startled little black dog right out of a businesswoman's arms — the woman watches open-mouthed as her dog goes airborne

Fifth Avenue

One very surprised dog

Inside a museum gallery, the girl's fly hooks a museum guide by the jacket lapel and lifts him off his feet — a school group looks on in complete disbelief

The Met

A museum-goer, by the jacket

Dad finally scoops the girl up under one arm and marches away — but she's still casting, her fly hovering just inches from a passing punk's enormous pink mohawk

And the one that got away…

So close to that mohawk.

Even when Dad finally scoops her up, she's still casting.

From a stone arch bridge in Central Park, the girl casts her line toward a toy sailboat drifting on the pond below, while joggers, dog-walkers and strollers pass behind her on the path
