About Us
Meet Ron
Your Fly Fishing Guide & Instructor
Like many fishing enthusiasts, my love for the sport began early, sparked by a devoted uncle whose passion for fishing was contagious.
He opened my eyes to the incredible world of fishing, and it quickly became more than just a hobby—it became a way of life. Over time, my fascination deepened, leading me to explore a diverse array of fishing techniques and species, each bringing its own challenges and rewards.
This journey wasn’t just about honing skills; it was about the peace of being on the water, the thrill of the chase, and the joy of a successful catch. Eventually, my path led me to fly fishing—a craft that combines precision, technique, and a profound connection with nature. Fly fishing became more than just another form of fishing; it became my true calling.
Now, I’m thrilled to share the knowledge and passion I’ve gathered over the years with others eager to discover this captivating pursuit. I look forward to being part of your fly fishing journey, just as my uncle was a part of mine.
History
My Story
For nearly 12 years, guiding and teaching the art of fly casting has been my life’s work. As a Fly Fishers International certified casting instructor, I’ve had the privilege of helping over a thousand enthusiastic learners embark on their own fly fishing journeys.
My students range from as young as 8 to as seasoned as 85, proving that it’s never too early or too late to experience the unique allure of fly fishing.
What makes fly fishing stand apart is the deeply interactive bond it forms between the angler and nature. Every cast becomes a question to Mother Nature—will she grant us a rewarding catch or challenge us with a near miss? This thrilling uncertainty, the dance between skill and the unpredictable elements, is at the core of fly fishing’s appeal.
Fly fishing goes beyond just catching fish; it’s about immersing ourselves in the wild, attuning to its rhythm, and embracing its unpredictable beauty. The sport requires a hands-on approach, inviting us to be present in every moment of the adventure. Regardless of the day’s catch, the true reward lies in the vibrant journey of the chase.
Join me, and together, let’s explore the captivating world of fly fishing.
