After 47 years of flyfishing in New York, Pennsylvania, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Canada, New Zealand, Chile, Australia and Europe, and saltwater flyfishing from Maine to Florida, John has caught fish of trophy proportions ranging from Tarpon, Permit and Baracuda to Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout.

And after all of that…John has not lost his enthusiasm for introducing beginners to the sport he loves. His gentle manner and effective teaching skills make him one of our favorite guides. Experienced anglers also enjoy fishing with John and enjoy picking his angling brain for some secrets that the West Branch of the Ausable keeps so well.

There’s nobody that fishes the silky dry fly water any better than John. The master of the little caddis, John quickly has clients presenting their caddis patterns exactly the way these wily trout like them. Always the gentleman, John’s enthusiasm and passion for the West Branch of the Ausable ensure a memorable Adirondack fly fishing adventure for his clients.
