Introduction: After retiring from 40 years of teaching high school and university science, I've spent the past decade teaching FF skills, and guiding clients throughout Northern CA, Utah, SW Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.
Of approximately 155 beginners I've had during that time, 4 have developed the skills and interest that permitted them to actually attend FF guide school to become a licensed guide.
An unsolicited comment from one client: "I learned more in 4 hours with you than in 5 days with other guides. I believe in helping my clients not just catch fish, but learn the appropriate types of rigging, how to read the water, and the "3 P's" (preparation, position, and presentation) that will enable them to be successful no matter where they go or who they're with.
