Every once in a while opportunities come along in life that we can choose which 'Y' in the road we'd like to follow, and follow it with a passion. For myself... fly fishing, and all that goes with it, was one of those opportunities in 1980.

From the first moment I was 'smitten', fly fishing forever changed my life. It continues to present newer and greater opportunities; at times, I feel somebody should pinch me. Am I dreaming?

A close friend of some 25+ years once said to me many years back... "Follow your dreams. One day you will 'wake up' and know how to live your dreams." Back then I didn't comprehend the real truth behind the wisdom of my friend's sage advice, but now I know... with the right mindset, your dreams can become reality, day-to-day, and not just remain some 'wild idea' locked inside your head!

Equally fortunate, I have many dear to my heart to share my fly fishing passion with... close friends, clients, business associates plus casual acquaintances; and then there's Kevin, my son. If there was anyone who could take me and my passion to the next level, it was him.

It is with some regret that as of January 2006 I have chosen to take the Flyfishers' Arte & Publishing web site offline until such time that I have the time to grow and maintain this enterprise, thus the site.

Tight lines...
