My passion for fly fishing and the outdoors began when my family moved to Northern Idaho from San Diego in 1993. My dad was an avid fisherman, mainly lures so I fished the same. Shortly after living there a movie called "A River Runs Through It" was released and I knew I had to try fly fishing. I got a basic fly fishing rod/reel combo for Christmas and I've been fly fishing ever since. I've fished almost every body of water within a four hour driven radius of my hometown in Idaho. When I was in college, I got hooked on something more addicting than catching trout on a dry fly which was fly fishing for winter steelhead. After college I moved to Florida where I salt water fly fished, mush different than what I was used to but still was fun. I am back in Southern California and have explored many rivers and streams down here. I am saddened to see the conditions of almost every freshwater body of water in Socal and I would like to do something about it. My goal is to help restore the rivers and creeks nearby to a healthier state and maybe, by the time I'm dead, see steelhead back in Socal.
