Matt Redmond

I’m a writer, fly designer, and educator rooted in Great Lakes fly fishing culture. Through Northeast Ohio Angling, my work focuses on original fly design, editorial storytelling, photography, and instructional experiences centered on life on the water throughout the Midwest and beyond.

My work has appeared in Flyfisherman, Flylords, The Drake, and American Fly Fishing Magazine. I’m fortunate to be a Pro Team member for Dr. Slick and Peak Fishing, and in 2026, I signed with RIO Products as a Signature Tyer, with five original fly patterns scheduled for the company’s 2027 catalog.
