History
I am a member of the Fishing Hall of Fame as well as a IGFA {International Game Fish Association.} world record holder.I am affiliated with and certified as a casting instructor with the Federation of Fly Fishers.I have had a fly rod in my hand since the age of nine. Some twenty years ago I was fortunate to wander upon the grounds of the most well known and prestigious angling and casting club in the world,the Golden Gate Angling and casting Club {ggacc.org}. Located in Golden Gate park this club is responsible for producing the finest casters and fishermen in the world. Under the tutelage of the likes of Steve Rajeff {he has won the annual American Casting Association championship 35 consecutive times, and the bi-annual World Casting Championship 13 times}, Tim Rajeff, a national casting champion, and Mel Krieger I was able to correct my casting stroke and pass on the long legacy of teaching casting and fishing to the membership.
