I have been trout fishing since I was two years old. Fishing is my life. Fishing
for me fills, I believe, an innate need. Growing up in the Mountain West has afforded
me the ability to be an extremely accomplished fly fisherman. I have been
teaching and leading fly fisherman for more than 26 years. I have also
worked in business management (Smith Corp.) and for the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game. I have been teaching these fly fishing classes for more than 16 years.
Many of my students have gone on to become professional fly fishing guides. |

Teaching the fly fishing classes have been an amazing chapter in my life. When I
started the first fly fishing class in 1994, I had no idea where the course would
take me. I now teach 11 classes at various skill levels. In 2001, with
a partner, I produced a fly fishing TV series for the Outdoor Channel. In 2006
I have opened a fly shop in Kaysville, Utah called Mickey Finns Fly Box. The fly
fishing classes have become to most popular community school class, not only
in Davis County, but the entire state of Utah. I never would have imagined how
popular and rewarding the classes have become. The biggest reward, without question,
are the people that I have met and the many friends I have made while teaching
the classes. Those friends are by far the biggest treasure of all. |
