" Surely one of the richest bounties of angling is to grow deeply intimate with the inner life of the world of nature, and in so doing, to come closer to your deepest self."

Have you ever considered fishing the Catskills in New York, challenging wild rainbows and brown trout on the West Branch of the Delaware, fishing the historic Beaverkill or Willowemoc, hiking down into a gorge on the Neversink for brook trout?  Connecticut also offers some of the best trout waters where one can wet a line, such as the Housatonic and Farmington rivers.  I have fished them all with a passion and can guide you to them to enjoy!
  My classroom is the water!  Learn the basic information one needs to get started in fly-fishing.  See through the eyes of a guide how to approach fish, learn knots, learn the body language of a feeding fish and what stage of the fly he is feeding on!  See "Services"

"Fathers day" is just around the corner! Gift certificate's available for the Dad who works hard for you.  Just go to contact me page.
Are you ready to enter the next level of fly-fishing?  I offer fly tying lessons by appointment only, learn the basic flies which will catch trout.  Over the years I have learned a simple method to entice fish to rise to my flies.  Nothing is more exciting than a fish taking your own tied fly!  See "services".
Wading a river or a stream is a wonderful adventure! Looking beyond the water is special at times!
New York City Anglers, take Metro North train service to Poughkeepsie or New Hamburg stations and get into Trout waters in no time!  See Services!

I look forward to the day to show you the waters that I have come to love.  Whether your looking for big waters and wild fish or small streams and beautiful fish, I can find a stream to meet your needs.
