I really got hooked on fly fishing and tying in 1974 when I caught my first Atlantic salmon on Nova Scotia’s St. Mary’s River, on a Cosseboom wet fly that I tied myself.
Since then fly tyers Jim McCoul and Warren Duncan have helped me immensely.
Retirement from my computer systems design career happened in 2001. In 2006 I won a fly creation contest sponsored by the Nova Scotia Federation Of Anglers & Hunters. My entry was chosen to become Nova Scotia’s official fly, proclaimed in the provincial legislature in 2007.
I opened my fly shop “River Magic” on the St. Mary’s River in 2007, making my hobby and my work one. Hope to see you there.
