Namesake & founders
Inspired in 2011 and opened in 2022
When imagining the start of our fly-fishing school and event space, we were drawn to the idea of creating something both lovely but practical... adventuresome but relaxing. And above all, a place that had no judgement and embraced the optimism that we see in the world. We also noted the obstacles in the industry that needed attention - a place for a first-time fly fisherperson to learn and an all-inclusive experience where lunches, restrooms and gear were part of the package. We named our business after our pooch's, Margo (Wheaten Terrier) and Lola (Weimaraner) who remind us every day to keep things simple and have a little fun along the way.
Veterans of getting things done right
We (Mark and Marcia) come from fast-paced entrepreneurial and corporate worlds where so often the idea of happy and healthy are lost to profit and growth. Being life-long advocates of not losing yourself, Margo+Lola is our answer to helping others take time to invest in themselves to discover new possibilities. Mark is a life-long, experienced fly fisherman and has a love of teaching and sharing with others. Marcia is a lover of creating curated experiences – from travel and restaurants to hotels around the world. The combination of the two are embodied in our brand.
