From those early days, my connection to fishing has remained unbroken.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2002 a new chapter of my life began when my family and I moved to Canada. The abundance of fly fishing opportunities offset the cold Canadian winters, making it a worthwhile exchange.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy fly-tying addiction has held me captive for over 25 years, with inspiration initially sparked by a magazine article. The challenge of creating unique and original fly patterns was an irresistible endeavor that I undertook, and that creative quest still thrives today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSharing my passion, I find gratification in leading workshops at local fly fishing clubs. In 2009, I was honored to receive the Jack Sutton Award for my contributions to creativity and innovation in fly tying, bestowed upon me by the esteemed Izaak Walton Fly-fishing Club.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen it comes to fly fishing, I enthusiastically embrace a diverse range of aquatic creatures - if it swims, I'm there. Yet, amidst this variety, a particular affinity has developed for Muskie, an enigmatic freshwater predator that presents a challenge not easily surmounted, but certainly not beyond reach. The pursuit of Muskie demands a persistent \"just one more cast\" mindset, a characteristic many say I possess.","image":{"created_at":"2023-08-11T22:11:28-06:00","alt":null,"width":400,"height":400,"src":"\/\/rainysflies.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Graham_Coombes.jpg?v=1691813489"}}]
