You can trust HPFC because we’re fishing travel fans, too. We spend hours testing every product or service we review (or we disclose if we have not), so you can be sure you’re buying the best.  

Who is Half Past First Cast owned by?

HPFC is owned by Half Past First Cast LLC, which is a partnership between Hanna Robbins and Pete Robbins, a married couple residing in Vienna, Virginia. They are long time members of the fishing community and fishing industry

Are Pete and Hanna reliable?

Half Past First Cast’s writers and contributors live and breathe fishing travel. We thrive on being exceptionally forthright and honest. If we don’t like something, we’ll tell you. If we like it, we’ll tell you why.

How does Half Past First Cast make money?

While we never do paid reviews on Half Past first Cast as part of our commitment to unbiased editorial, we do use other means to ensure we can pay our teams and website costs, including affiliate links. When you click on a link to Tackle Warehouse, among other companies from our site, we may get a small commission, but you will never pay extra for that. Similarly, we may get commissions from the lodges, outfitters and guides that we promote, but you will never pay a penny more than if you booked directly.
