As a teenager I was on the fast track to a career in professional bass fishing. This all changed on my fourteenth birthday when my father took me to an outdoor show where I purchased my first fly rod...

It’s safe to say that my life truly began when I was fourteen. I enrolled in the fly fishing school of hard knocks and learned through my own failure. Now over a decade later I can say it has been the most rewarding experience of my life.

This mind, body, and soul addiction has consumed every aspect of my life. I can’t make a conscious decision without asking myself “How will this affect my fly fishing?”

"No feeling has ever come close, or has ever felt so right...

As the feeling I get while clutching a wet piece of cork in the pursuit of outsmarting a creature of an alien world with nothing more than a ridiculous combination of dead animal matter that I've assembled upon a hook.." -Adam Hope
