If you would prefer to sponsor a school, or take a private lesson near your home contact the fly fishing coach to discuss arrangements. The Allegheny River and Conewango Creek offer great laboratories for learning advanced skills for trophy fish such as trout, smallmouth bass, pike, and musky.
Interested in becoming a better teacher and coach? I can provide you or your club with time tested tools and techniques for teaching and coaching fly casting as well as other aspects of fly fishing. Consider sponsoring a teachers workshop before your next fly fishing school or event. If you like to teach and want to learn more consider becoming a certified instructor through the program sponsored by the Federation of Fly Fishers. The certification is focused on producing quality instructors not just "casters"! Check it out online at www.fedflyfishers.org.
Check out the "Musky on the Fly" page for some great tips on how to prepare. Private lessons or on-the water instruction can sharpen your skills and greatly increase your chance of success. Give me a call! This unique opportunity to fly fish the Allegheny River for trophy muskies is possible in conjunction with Red Childress, premier musky guide in the Northeast. Click here to check out Red's website. When your skills are honed, book Red and he will put you on the fish - then it is all up to you!! |
"My mission is to help you become the fly fisher you always wanted to be. I offer high quality, patient and effective coaching in all aspects of fly fishing so that when your "contest" with the fish occurs, you will be ready!! The schools are thorough and the on-stream instruction intensive. Class size is kept small so I can spend time coaching, perfecting each new skill, and increasing your knowledge and fish catching ability." 
Instruction will take place on the beautiful streams and rivers of the Allegheny National Forest in Northwest Pennsylvania. The city of Warren serves as the base for operations and is a full service community. 
Fly fishing schools will normally begin in the classroom and end with casting on a lawn or small pond. Guided on-stream instruction for trout will take place on Tionesta Creek or one of it's numerous tributaries in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest. 
"Fly fishing is a lifetime adventure. Once hooked you find it is more about the journey than it is about the prize. Fly fishing is not something that can be learned in one lesson, a day, or even a week long school. It's a lifetime of learning and being in the Creator's landscape. Fly fishing takes place in some of the most beautiful environments on earth. Even after 40 years I'm still learning new fishing techniques and expanding my understanding of the environment. I still get excited about applying them in old and new waters all across the country. Next to fly fishing I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. Come join me!" 
Never fly fished for big toothy critters like this Musky before? You don't have to go far, they are right here in our backyard - the Allegheny River. Let me help you get ready for this exciting challenge. If your into big fish and top of the line predators on the fly...this is an opportunity you don't want to miss!!
