I started my fly-fishing career targeting pike from a kayak on the rivers of East Anglia, England, where I guide part-time for these awesome predators. I also love saltwater fly fishing,and I’m fortunate to host trips to destinations such as Christmas Island. I am an avid fly tier and demonstrate at various shows throughout the UK. I spent two seasons managing an Atlantic-salmon lodge in northern Norway, where I looked after our guests’ every need, but also had plenty of time trying to land my own Norwegian giant! I currently still hold the Norwegian record for fly caught Atlantic halibut at 44kg (97 pounds). Over the next few years, I hope to start working toward my instructor’s qualifications in both casting and fly tying.
