Nancy Murphy is TCO's Director of Marketing and Education. A seasoned fly shop manager, Nancy has opened two fly shops and is now in the process of creating the marketing and education for our new shop in the Adirondacks!. After years of teaching and guiding in the large resort atmosphere, Nancy searched for a more relaxed, hospitable way to encourage travelers to embrace and experience fly fishing. “Our most remarkable schools and trips were hosted at smaller venues like the Hungry Trout Lodge.
These smaller, private venues fostered camaraderie encouraging guests to make new friendships, interact with our team of friendly instructors and guides, and develop their fishing self-confidence. All of this translates to an amazing fulfilling experience for guests and guides.” This is the comforting feel you will get when you book with us at the Hungry Trout Lodge!
