About

Bock Fly Fishing

If you want to catch more fish—and actually understand why you’re catching them—you’re in the right place.

Most guided trips hand you a rod, put you in the right spot, and hope it works out. You might catch a few fish, you might not—but either way, you leave without really knowing what made the difference.

That’s not how I do things.

There’s a difference between catching fish and learning how to catch fish. One is luck. The other stays with you.

My goal isn’t just to put you on fish for a day—it’s to give you the tools, confidence, and understanding to go out and do it on your own.

What Makes This Different

When you fish with me, you’re not just along for the ride.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Read water and find fish

  • Adjust based on conditions

  • Understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface

  • Make decisions that lead to consistent success

We’re not standing around waiting for something to happen. We’re moving, adjusting, and figuring things out together.

Because at the end of the day, I don’t want you to only catch fish when you’re with me

I want you catching fish all the time.


This Is For You If…

  • You’re new and want to skip years of frustration and guesswork

  • You’ve fished before but can’t seem to put it all together

  • You want more than just a “guided trip”—you want to actually learn

  • You’re looking for an experience that’s equal parts productive and enjoyable

If you’re just looking for someone to hand you a rod and do everything for you, there are plenty of options out there.

If you want to get better, you’re in the right place.


How It Started

A man with a beard wearing sunglasses, an orange and gray jacket, and a cap is smiling and holding a freshly caught fish over a fishing net, outdoors under a partly cloudy sky.

I grew up fishing with my grandmother. Some of my best memories come from time spent on the water with her—learning, exploring, and just being outside.

When I lost her, I found myself coming back to those same places. The river became more than just a place to fish—it became a place to reset, reflect, and reconnect.

That’s something that stuck with me.

Now, whether someone steps into the water looking to catch their first fish or just needing a break from everything else going on in life, I understand what that time can mean.

And I don’t take that lightly.


What It’s Like on the Water

No two days are the same—but a few things stay consistent.

We keep it relaxed, but focused.
We cover water.
We make adjustments.
We figure things out.

There’s going to be instruction, but it’s not going to feel like a lecture. You’ll understand what you’re doing and why it matters—without it getting overly complicated.

Some days are lights-out. Some days make you work for it.

Either way, you’re walking away better than you showed up.

What I Offer

  • Guided fly fishing trips

  • Private instruction and small-group clinics

  • Two-day fly fishing schools designed to build real skill and confidence

Whether you’re looking for a single day on the water or a deeper dive into learning, we’ll build something around what you’re trying to get out of it.
