 As your host it is only fair to tell you a lit­tle about my cre­den­tials.  Cur­rently resid­ing at the Jer­sey Shore I have been fly fish­ing for more than 40 years in both fresh and salt water.  I hold every Cast­ing Instruc­tor Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion the Fed­er­a­tion of Fly Fish­ers offers and have recently been elected to the Board of Gov­er­nors and as you will see through­out the site I have taught with many notable fly cast­ing celebri­ties around the world. I have even, at one time, offered to give cast­ing lessons to the Pres­i­dent.  (dou­ble  click this audio) White House 

My first expe­ri­ence with a fly rod came at the hands of Ran­dal Kauf­man the for­mer owner of Stream­borne Fly Shop in Tigard, Ore­gon almost 40 years ago, we became instant friends.  I now fish the “Salt” from New Jer­sey to Rhode Island and the Florida Keys. My fresh­wa­ter fish­ing includes the streams of the North­east at least an annual return to the Pacific Northwest.

Since then I have been priv­eledged to teach with Lefty Kreh, Gordy Hill, Tom White, Joan Wulff, Bruce Richards, Al Buhr, Flip Pal­lot, Steve Rajeff, Tim Rajeff, Ally Gowans (Scot­land), Den­nis Grant (Nova Sco­tia), Raf­faele Mas­caro (Italy), Chris Sepio (Canada) and many, many oth­ers all around the world, most of whom have become close friends.…

Fly Fish­ing and Friend­ships just seem to go hand in hand!

 …Always some­thing spe­cial to see allong the way!

I Look for­ward to cast­ing together!

“ There is no place I fit so well as a stream,

No human edi­fice I find so beau­ti­ful as woods and water.

Fish­ing ties me into the world of water and the anmi­mals it contains,

Into mys­tery and  some­thing prim­i­tive and valu­able inside me.”
