You will see how Brian has combined a lifetime of fly fishing photography and a lot of serious fly fishing. He sold his first fly fishing photo when he was 16. That was 44 years ago! In that time he has been very busy trying to fish and photo as many interesting places as possible. Brian's angling travels have taken him to distant destinations like Tonga, Bikini Atoll, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Kashmir, England, Brazil, Nicaragua and many more. As much as he like trips to the Bahamas, Belize, the Yucatan, etc, he is just as much a home water fisherman. Near his home in Camp Sherman, Oregon he enjoys the Metolius, Deschutes, Crooked and John Day and many lakes in Central Oregon. Brian's presentaiton will be ‘Fly Fish Oregon’. A colorful look at many of Oregon’s fishing destinations. Something for everyone. Brian has enjoyed a nice working relationship with many fly fishing magazines, plus Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Outside Magazine and many tackle catalogs, books and websites. Speaking of websites, Brian's current project is Catch Magazine, a photo and video driven on-line fly fishing magazine. Catch Magazine is at www.catchmagazine.net. WIth the help of Tod Moen, Brian has produce a fly fishing visual experience I know you will enjoy. Some people call it their Virtual Vacation.
