FFI Certified Casting Instructor, FFI Master Casting Instructor

Washington, US

I am an FFI Master Casting Instructor with 20 years of experience in guiding and instruction. I split my time between saltwater in South Florida and targeting sea-run and coastal cutthroat trout in the Pacific Northwest. For the past 10 years, I’ve taught introductory and advanced fly casting at Chuckanut Creek Fly Shop in Bellingham, WA. My focus is helping anglers deliver fast, clean, repeatable shots with minimal strain and effort, whether that’s improving accuracy in tight quarters, handling wind, or building an efficient, sustainable casting stroke. I enjoy working with beginners and experienced anglers alike and look forward to helping you fish with more confidence and less effort.
