A Reel Sportswear Program
Fishing for the Future
Nominations Open — Deadline September 2026
Rising Tides is built to recognize the young anglers and the organizations putting in the work — on the water and in their communities. The kids keeping the tradition alive. The clubs, schools, and groups getting them there.
We want to find them, back them, and put them on.
Tell us who deserves it — nominate yourself, your crew, or someone you’ve watched show up and do the work. Submit with a short essay or video: what they’ve done for their community, and why fishing matters to them. That’s it.
Submit a nomination for yourself, your club, or an angler you know who’s putting in the work on the water and in their community.
Share a short essay or video — what have they done for their community, and why does fishing matter to them?
A panel of guides, community leaders, and the Reel Sportswear crew reads every submission and picks the ones outshining the rest.
Winners receive custom Reel Sportswear shirts designed for them — and a feature story because these are the stories worth telling.
Fill out the form below. Nominations close September 2026 — don’t wait.
Thanks for submitting — we’ll read every entry and be in touch before September 2026.
