I am a avid salmon and trout angler with a voracious appetite for fishing knowledge. I am a skilled fly caster and am proficient with knots and rod repair. Dry fly fishing for Atlantic salmon and brook trout is my passion but bait fishing for brown trout and char arrive a close second. A angler for over 20 years I aim to share the knowledge I have gathered accurately representing my region to WFN and its viewers.
