Me with a 20lb chum salmon caught on the fly

About this page

This webpage is all about fly fishing with an emphasis on native salmonids. Salmonids which include trout, salmon, char and their relatives exhibit an incredible amount of biodiversity and I have done my best to document it here. While there are numerous books and websites with illustrations and information on trout and salmon, there are relatively few that include actual photographs. On my trout and salmon page I have compiled pictures as well as information on species and subspecies of trout and salmon that I have caught. This site also features information on a variety of fly fishing destinations, as well as tying instructions for some of my favorite flies. All of the pictures on this page were taken by me or my friends unless otherwise stated. It is my hope that this site will help to raise awareness of the biodiversity found in our native salmonids and the threats that they are facing so that we may be better stewards of these beautiful fish.
