Who We Are
Innovative Angling was founded by four-time World Fly Fishing Championship team medalist Mike Komara. We are a guide service based in Central Pennsylvania, but hope to educate anglers worldwide through our media and events.
Our mission is to share the skills and techniques learned over a decade of competing and fishing across the globe. An Innovative Angling guided fly fishing trip is unlike any other. With us, you’ll not only experience Pennsylvania’s best waters and catch fish until your arm gets tired, but also learn the skills you need to continue improving on your own.
Join us for a guided trip, clinic, or virtual lesson and take your fly fishing skills and know-how to a whole new level!
Guided Trips
Pennsylvania has over 85,000 miles of rivers and streams, many of which offer world class fly fishing. At Innovative Angling, we’ve spent years exploring these creeks and rivers to find the best places to go for trout, bass, and musky. We offer single and multi-day walk & wade or float trips to explore these waters and learn the skills to fish them. Regardless of age, ability, or skill level, we’ll make sure you catch plenty of fish and learn even more.
What makes us different? At Innovative Angling, we have over fifteen years of experience fly fishing the world for everything that swims, as well as over a decade competing with the U.S. Youth and Senior Fly Fishing Teams. We approach fishing and guiding in a unique way, focusing on education but prioritizing fun. You won’t find a guide in Pennsylvania more excited to see you succeed on the water!
