I fell in love with fly fishing as a young boy when I found on old Eagle Claw Spin/Flyfish combo rod in my neighbors garage. Armed with the rod, reel filled with only backing and a prince nymph I jumped on my bike and made the 5 mile trek down the gravel road to the Eagle River. I caught and landed two brown trout that day and I have been hooked ever since. I have spent the past 18 years of my life in the fly fishing business as a guide, Fly shop owner for 7 years, and as an outfitter. I have a wonderful family which consist of my lovely and supportive wife Moira, 5 year old son Reece, 7 month old Daughter Sarah and our beloved dog Trico.
