As a young boy, I fell in love with trout, and the places they live. Thirty four years ago I started to work in the industry, first as a guide and then on the retail side of fly fishing. I have been a member of Winston’s pro staff since 2004. Also, a member of Scientific Anglers pro staff program, and a Signature tier for Umpqua Feather Merchants. Along with trout, steelhead are my favorite species to chase. Because of this, fishing with a two handed rod has become my favorite technique. But, when the fish are looking up, it’s back to fine tippet attached to a dry fly. As they say, “never walk past a raising fish”
