Guided Fly Fishing, Instruction, and Media

WELCOME TO NORTHEAST OHIO ANGLING

Fly fishing is for everyone. It’s not about expensive gear or haughty 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.

Ohio steelhead guide service

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 groups for local clubs, writing for fly fishing publications, and providing fly tying instruction.

Are you just getting started in fly fishing? Let’s discuss the basics of equipment and casting to get you in the game. Casting instruction is often paired with pond fishing to get that first fly rod fish (or many fish) under your belt.

Have some experience, but want to check out specific techniques or species? Let’s get on the water and break down the opportunities and tactics at your disposal.

Fly fishing is for everyone, and our region offers some incredible opportunities for those who know where to look. The world is yours to explore.
