Preferred rod and fish: When it comes to trout, I have to reach for my Syndicate Pipeline P2 10ft 2wt. That rod is my favorite trout euro-nymphing machine.
Favorite part of fly fishing: The immersion into nature, either in solitude or with friends. Fly fishing takes me to beautiful places in various states and countries, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and sceneries. I enjoy the deep connection with nature and with friends. Life becomes more serene and simple, standing in the cool flowing streams listening to the sounds and sights of the river while trying to solve the puzzle of how to entice some fish to eat your fake bugs.
Tip or Trick to share: Very often, people like to rush to the stream and hit that easy spot for fish, while ignoring and trampling over spots in front of them that hold fish. Before rushing to that “honeyhole”, don’t forget to work spots closer to you first and then progress forward. As you return to the river banks, take a few steps to the side and repeat that same pattern. You will be amazed at how many more fish you will catch.
About yourself: I’m a late bloomer to fly fishing but have fished since I was a teenager. After moving to Texas over eight years ago, I fell in love with the Hill Country, its various rivers and beauty, and quickly adopted fly fishing as one of my passionate hobbies. I enjoy fishing for all species of fish - trout, bass, carp, and saltwater species. My passion is euro-nymphing for trout and sight casting for fish from my kayak.
My other passion includes photography, which I enjoy incorporating the love of fly fishing into it with various beautiful sceneries and subject matter. After all, trout do live in beautiful places!
