WRITING - FLY TYING - INSTRUCTION

I’ve spent more than a decade exploring the Great Lakes and their many connecting waters with a fly rod. I’m an outdoor writer with text and video content featured in publications like Flyfisherman.com, The Drake Magazine, Flylords, and American Fly Fishing Magazine in addition to blogs for brands like Ahrex Hooks, Fulling Mill, and Cheeky Fishing.

I’m also an avid fly tyer and designer, and a member of Dr. Slick’s Pro Staff and Peak Fishing’s Pro Team. I like to think my tying style is grounded in simplicity and durability. I only tie (and sell) flies that I would fish myself, relying on the highest quality materials and a great deal of experience at the vise to create flies that anglers can fish with confidence.

Most of my creations were designed for a specific species, but they remain excellent options for a wide variety of predatory freshwater fish - an important consideration for anglers who enjoy pursuing a multitude of species.

I also offer individual and group outings and instruction related to Great Lakes fly fishing, fly casting, and fly tying upon request. In-person and virtual instruction are available.

It is my hope that through my flies, media, or instruction you may find greater enjoyment on the water.
