Jim grew up in the outdoors seeking one adventure after another. He has always been drawn to connecting with water and the environment. An angler since a young age, his first experience with a fly rod was on the Frying Pan River in Colorado and, in some ways, he hasn’t been the same since. Jim has been fly fishing in southeast and central Pennsylvania for ten years or so and has been fortunate to learn from some of the best anglers the state has to offer. He spends countless hours on local streams including Valley, French, Brandywine, Pickering, Ridley, Perkiomen and Tulpehocken Creeks where he enjoys sharing his passion with others. Jim also chases game fish on the Gunpowder River in Maryland, Delaware River system in New York, Yellowstone River system in Montana, Lamar Valley in Wyoming and Andros Island in the Bahamas. When Jim isn’t fishing he’s probably talking or at least thinking about it. Just ask his wife Carolyn.
