Passionate, knowledgeable Pennsylvania fly fishing guides ready to customize your experience on the water.
I’m an avid fly fisherman — and above that, a husband, father, and a pursuer of truth, beauty, and goodness. Fly fishing has an amazing way of teaching us about living, and chasing trout always takes you into the most beautiful places on God’s green earth.
This journey began as I pondered the value of growing my knowledge and skill for a deeper reason than self-satisfaction. I wanted to give what I had received — and so Journey on the Fly was born. My approach is different than many: I think we’re all guests in a trout stream, and I simply act as the liaison between my guests and the inhabitants of the stream. My modest goal is to inspire others to find and pursue purpose. Remember — it’s the journey that makes us.
“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable; a perpetual series of occasions for hope.” — John Buchan.
I found the joy of fishing as soon as I could walk, but discovered a passion for fly fishing in my early teens. The challenge begins well before your flies hit the stream — it’s the research and knowledge to understand the environment fish live in: how water behaves, the impact of seasons, the food in their natural habitat. No one is ever a master of fly fishing, but the gift is the ability to connect to nature and share the experience with others.
The Mayfly Project is a non-profit that mentors and helps foster children through fly fishing. As a mentor with the Erie chapter, it holds a special place in my heart — and it’s something I genuinely enjoy sharing with others.
