The Provincial Government is providing $46,305 to Tight Loops Tight Lines (NKC Enterprises Inc.) to support the company’s promotion and development of fly-fishing experiences. The Honourable Andrew Parsons, KC, Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, announced the funding today, through the Business Development Support Program.
Based in Corner Brook, Tight Loops Tight Lines was launched by Kastine Coleman in 2018 with a goal of introducing more women and youth to the traditionally male-dominated sport of fly-fishing. Her angling lessons expanded into the world of multimedia. Her business model included a strong focus on videography and photography that helps broaden the operation’s virtual footprint through film and written content. Her TV show, which airs on NTV and YouTube, profiles her business as well as others in the sector that share her commitment to high-quality experiences.
This support from the Business Development Support Program will allow Tight Loops Tight Lines to expand its market presence and product offerings and look to new markets and clients. Funding will cover items such as advertising, trade show attendance, professional fees and skills development, content creation and network development.
