North 40 Fly Shop eMagazine June 2015 | Page 9

I was raised in Churchville, Maryland. I learned to fish at a young age on the Chesapeake Bay and Farm ponds in the area. North Idaho has always been a second home to me. I spent many summers on my family’s farm. I learned to fly fish on the surrounding rivers and streams. I made Coeur d’ Alene home in 2010. When I am not out chasing fish with a fly rod, I enjoy bird hunting and working on the farm. Q : Favorite North Idaho Setup? A: My favorite North Idaho setup is a double nymph rig. I prefer a heavy Stonefly Nymph as my top bug, and for my bottom bug I will tend to go with a small Mayfly Nymph. Hayden Lake Pike
