About
My name is Mike and I live in Western NY. I have been fly fishing since the early nineties but I have gained most of my knowledge from my friends from my Trout Unlimited chapter in the last several years. I recently took my first trip to the Florida Keys and Montana. This has created a whole new enthusiasm for fly fishing for me.
I am hoping to share some of my knowledge and experiences with people who are new to the sport or just enjoy reading fellow fly fishermen’s stories.
In this blog I will share my opinions of places, equipment, and people and will be accepting paid advertising for some of the endorsements I make. My hope is that I will be able to help others learn from my good choices and bad, and that this web site will enable me to do more with fly fishing in the future so I can continue to share more of my experiences with you.
My name is Craig and I live in Rochester, NY. Mike graciously invited me to share his blog in April of 2009. Since then, I’ve been posting reports of my various angling adventures. As a child, my grandfather taught me to fly fish. I love learning new waters, exploring familiar fisheries and am passionate about both fly fishing and fly tying. There is so much to learn about our sport.
Over the past two decades I’ve enjoyed plenty of fly fishing travels to Montana, Maine, North Carolina and Southern Florida. I used to work as a part time trout guide in the Mountains of North Carolina. I’ve owned a bay boat and flats skiff, giving them plenty of use in New England, North Carolina, the Keys and SouthWest Florida. These days, I’m often concentrating on fly tying and targeting trout or salmon. Vacation time in Coastal Maine and the Thousand Islands, combined w/ targeting local trout and salmon, also provide me with ample angling time. I’m glad to share my knowledge and hope that this blog keeps me learning. Take a kid fishing, protect our waters and tight lines!
