Member since July 2023
Captain Sean Lincicome grew up in Oklahoma where he learned to fly fish for multiple types of fish starting at the age of 10. Once Sean turned 19 he left Oklahoma and joined the Air Force and an Aircraft Mechanic, while serving Sean fished in many of the countries that he went to. During his 20 year service he found that he was teaching people how to fish and most of the time it was fly fishing. Sean started pursuing his passion to guide and became a licensed captain. Sean is passionate about fly fishing and is driven by getting other anglers hooked up on multiple species and seeing the joy in them when they hook their 1st fish or their 1000th fish on a fly rod.
