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.
