OPTIMISTIC WATERS • FOR MORE THAN 54 YEARS, FLY FISHERMAN HAS MOSTLY DEDICATED ITSELF TO THE SPECIFIC DETAILS OF HOW TO MATCH THE HATCH, CAST, TIE FLIES, MAKE PRESENTATIONS THAT CATCH FISH, AND MAKE THOUGHTFUL FLY SELECTIONS BASED ON INSIGHTS AND OBSERVATION. OF COURSE, KNOWING HOW TO FISH DOESN’T DO MUCH GOOD IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE TO FISH, SO WE’VE ALSO SPENT DECADES WRITING ABOUT ICONIC AND SPECIAL PLACES THAT ARE PART OF OUR COLLECTIVE FLY-FISHING SOUL.
