Started at 8 with a bamboo rod saved from the trash. A level floating line and a handful of wet flies.
Then the Herters catalog was my bible. The picture plates of flies are what I tried to imitate as I tied.
At the age of 23 I started guiding and teaching for Orvis in Manchester and later for the Orvis shop in Lake Placid I did that for about 12 years. Now I flyfish about 30% of the time, troll and cast the rest of the time.
I fish Salt, shallow and deep, streams, lakes and rivers with a fly.
