CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA — Tycoon Tackle, Inc. announced the addition of professional fly angler Sara Low to the company’s Pro-Staff. Low is a New York State-licensed fishing guide and fly fishing instructor that has more than 15 years experience in organizing and leading fishing trips and teaching fly fishing. She is a partner in High Spirits Unlimited, a travel company, which specializes in providing fly-fishing trips to unique and exciting destinations. She is a Director of Theodore Gordon Flyfishers, a nonprofit conservation organization promoting protection of rivers and coldwater fish. Sara was honored by the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum as a 2010 Flyfisher of Distinction and was a member of the 2014 First Cast Team to open the New York Fishing Season in the Catskills.
Low is an author and her new book, A Guide’s Guide to Fly-Fishing Mistakes is a handbook for improving fly-fishing techniques.

Tim O’Brien, President of Tycoon Tackle said, “We are excited about having Sara as a member of our team. Her knowledge of fly-fishing, fishing tackle, and guiding anglers to exotic destinations will be a tremendous asset to the company. I am looking forward to working with her in the coming years.”
Tycoon Tackle, Inc. is a Charlottesville, Virginia-based angling outfitter that originated in Miami, Florida in 1935. The company was on the scene in the formative years of big-game angling and at one time more than 95% of all world record fish were caught on the company’s fishing rods. Tim O’Brien, owner and President the company, said, “The company began with little money but ‘a fortune in ideas’ and in time grew to become a leader in the angling world, by not only making the best and most desirable fishing rods but by being a leader in promoting the catch and release of gamefish.” The company is still family owned and committed to manufacturing products in the United States.
