Guided Fly Fishing, Instruction, and Media
WELCOME TO NORTHEAST OHIO ANGLING
Fly fishing is for everyone. It’s not about expensive gear or big attitudes. It’s about exploring and immersing oneself in the natural world. It can be as peaceful as a brook trout sipping dries, and as chaotic as a musky destroying a 14-inch hollow fly. It’s a golden mail-clad carp ripping drag like a freight train, a chrome steelhead blasting through the surface on acrobatic jumps, and a pissed off smallmouth smashing swim flies in full war paint.
It’s fun. It’s exciting. It’s something we should all experience.
GUIDED FLY FISHING
The Great Lakes are the world’s largest freshwater system, providing habitat for a wide range of exciting and challenging species of game fish. Along the southern shores of Lake Erie, steelhead and smallmouth bass draw massive attention from fly anglers - and for good reason.
Guided fishing trips are available for both smallmouth and steelhead in Lake Erie, its many tributaries, and select inland waterways. Get in touch and plan your day on the water with a licensed and insured guide.
FLY FISHING INSTRUCTION
Fly fishing really is for everyone, and its actually not that difficult once you understand a few principles. We can work on single hand casting or two-hand spey casts to help you get started with functional fly casting that will put your flies in the zone. Individual and small group sessions are available.
Matt Redmond
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, I offer fly fishing instruction and on-water guided fishing for steelhead and smallmouth bass.
I’ve chased warm and cold water species throughout the Great Lakes for over a decade, leading excursions for local clubs, writing for fly fishing publications, and providing fly tying instruction along the way.
I started out prowling our local rivers with a spinning rod and gravitated more toward fly fishing over time. Both are excellent ways to get up close and personal with the many incredible species we are so fortunate to have in our local waters.
