How to Get Involved.
- Sponsor a Flybrary
Help fund the build, art, and stocking of a new box in your town or favorite river spot.
- Contribute Your Craft
Woodworkers and artists are invited to join the effort—whether building, painting, or collaborating on installations.
- Donate Flies or Materials
Whether you tie them yourself or want to contribute gear and supplies, every donation supports a community of anglers.
- Pick Up Trash While You Fish
A simple act that leaves a real impact. Each Flybrary encourages a “leave it better” mentality.
- Share the Story
Post your catches, tag your local Flybrary, and help grow awareness for this grassroots project.
Where to Find Them.
The very first Flybrary box—handcrafted and beautifully painted by local artist Liz Hamstra—can be found at the Potter’s Bridge river entrance. This initial installation sets the tone for what’s coming next: a growing network of Flybraries across Indiana.
More boxes are planned for exciting locations including:
- Indianapolis
- Rochester
- Rockville
- Bloomington
- …and many more communities dedicated to clean water and shared stewardship.
As the project progresses, an interactive map will be added here to help you locate Flybraries near you and get involved.
Why I Started This.
The Indiana Flybrary Project started from a personal rhythm: I spend one day a week fishing, cleaning trash, and reflecting along the river. It’s part meditation, part mission. I wanted to turn that private habit into public good—one that could bring people together, uplift local talent, and keep our waterways clean.
Now, the project lives at the intersection of design, conservation, and community—and everyone has a role to play.
