I am an outdoor writer and photographer with fly fishing articles articles that have appeared in national publications including Fly Tyer, American Angler and Outdoor Life. My fly fishing books include: “The New York Fly-Fishing Guide (Amato Publications), “Warmwater Fly Fishing- Finding and Catching Warmwater Species), and my new book, “The Greats of Adirondack Fly Fishing, ” which explores the lives of six anglers who shaped fly fishing in the Adirondack Mountains, including their fly patterns.
