I grew up in MN and have always fished. Started out with a Zebco 202 reel and rod with a bobber and worm. Worked up to spinning and then was determined to learn flyfishing. After a steep learning curve, I started to get the hang of it. Took up flytying too. Learning on those small, brushy streams gave me a sidearm stroke that I still can't get rid of. Microsoft moved me out to the Seattle area where I got exposed to big rivers, big fish and the sheer joy of throwing a speyrod across the entire river.
These days, I run a small fly company that features my flies and some of my friend's. I travel all over the world in search of all types of fish in all types of water -- but always with a flyrod. My girlfriend took up flyfishing, caught her first trout on a dry and uses nothing but a dryfly now. When home (in WA), I fish the steelhead streams around my house and the great trout fishing on the east side of the mountains. I have one son who is in college and is turning 20. He is a heck of a flyfisher. ---------------------------------------------------------- Jay Paulson www.amazingflies.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
