Jeff has been an avid fly fisherman for over twenty years.
He began tying flies commercially at the age of 13 and has appeared
as a Master Fly Tier at the popular International Sportsman’s
Exposition (where he also performs fly casting demonstrations).
Jeff has
worked as a guide for lodges in Montana and Colorado - and independently
in Northern California. After guiding, Jeff went on the road as a sales
rep for Dan Bailey’s and other fly fishing equipment
manufacturers. He has also worked for several Northern California
fly shops, and currently works at
Kiene’s Fly Shop in Sacramento.
Jeff now runs his own fly fishing schools and travel
business (out of his office at Kiene's) and
serves as a Pro Staff member for Scott Fly Rods, Patagonia, and
Waterworks Fly Reels. He has fished exotic locations such as Belize,
Christmas Island, Alaska, and Canada.
Jeff’s favorite fishing experiences include trout on spring
creeks, tarpon on the flats, and spey fishing for steelhead.
Jeff is one of the West's premier fly casting
instructors and is a Certified Casting Instructor with the Federation of
Fly Fishers. His presentation
at the October meeting will focus on fly casting - from basic
fundamentals to specific, advanced techniques. He'll cover the following
topics: equipment (rods and lines), basic casting mechanics, casting
efficiency, single and double hauling, distance and windy conditions
casting, and resolving common casting problems - and will save part of the lecture
for questions
and answers.
