I am a fly fishing consultant: providing expert knowledge and advice to fly fisherman. Think of me as a personal trainer, coach, or tutor for the angler.

My background in science, education, and fly fishing gives me a unique approach to fly fishing education and instruction. You will gain a whole new perspective on fly fishing that you will not gain from a local fly shop, magazine, or tv show.

Through my instruction you will become a more competent and self sufficient angler.
Maybe you have a general question about fly fishing, contact me and I'll do my best to answer your request.

"As a birthday gift, my father gave me some money toward taking up fly-fishing. To start off, I really wanted a class from someone knowledgeable and experienced but also who I could comfortably ask very basic questions of.  Rob was great. He led me through the basics of fly-fishing from rods and reels, casting, and which flies to use, to reading water, things to bring, and where to fish.  And he did it all with an enthusiasm that was contagious.  He clearly loves fly-fishing and we had a lot of fun.  He seemed to have enjoyed the time as much as I did!  I would highly recommend him!"

"Rob, Just wanted you to know that I used one of the bluefish flies you made for me, with success! Not much room to cast on the boat, but still managed to catch 3 on 1 fly in Chesapeake, near Lewisetta." - Earl C. September 2008

"A deal that includes competitively priced hand-tied flies and an on-the-water demonstration sounds too good to be true; but it wasn't! Thanks, Rob, for meeting me at the lake to discuss each pattern, to explain and demonstrate casting, presentation and retrieval techniques, and to swap fish stories. All the best." - Willard S.
