I have been tying flies for over fifty years. In that time I have
created several original patterns, mostly for steelhead and Pacific
salmon. Some of my fly patterns have been featured in fishing
magazines and books. I have also written columns for Angler magazine
and Fly Fishing and Tying Journal.
When I was thirteen, my fishing career began in Northern California's
Russian River. For the past forty-five years I have fished North Coast
rivers such as the Eel, Smith, Trinity, and Klamath. My favorite trout
waters are the upper Sacramento and McCloud in California and the
Madison and Gallatin in Montana.
