Fly fishing is a wonderful sport with a host of lessons that continue for a lifetime. These lessons are far-ranging and as deep as the angler cares to wade. That’s a part of the charm of the sport. This site is dedicated to exposing the fly fisher to the entirety of the sport and all the excitement, fun, and adventure that every facet offers. And to that end, I have elected to include lessons and anecdotes on all aspects of fly fishing on this site. They can be found in the “Skills of Presentation” pages.

     But there’s so much more to fly fishing than just learning how to catch more fish. Sure that’s significant in the overall picture, but there’s also another whole world of gear, fly tying materials and design tactics, the study of all aspects of the life of the fish and its food organisms, the ecology of rivers, lakes, and oceans, collecting books and videos, travel adventures, friendships, sports shows, schools, and so much more, and so I have included articles on these topics in the Skills of Presentation series, as well.

    As Executive Vice President and equity partner in Targus Fly and Feather, Inc., I am intimately involved in all aspects of fly design,  new material sourcing, the incredible Targus ColorMatch™ System of coordinated colors for tying materials, rod and reel design, and much more. These are exciting time for fly fishing and for all of us at Targus as we develop new products and new processes that dramatically increase our abilities as fly tyers and anglers. We’ve built new international headquarters and processing facilities in Woodland, WA, where we can all work together to continue to bring you the very best of the very best in fly fishing and fly tying products, and Nancy and I will soon be moving there permanently. Jason and Kelley will join us there, soon, also. Have a look at some of the items we’re bringing you by clicking on the various Targus pages above.
