Information
Putting his degree in Philosophy from Montana State University to good use, Wayne loves to teach, especially when it comes to fly fishing – whether it’s a beginner learning to cast for the first time, or an advanced fly fisher learning a new trick. It would be a toss up between leaping trout and leaping smallmouth, as to which one Wayne would rather be catching. However, some days are meant to be lazily spent on a pond, casting to bluegills.
Wayne has been fly fishing and guiding for over twenty years. He worked four seasons as a guide and salesman for a Virginia fly shop. In 2007, he competed in the Southeast Regional Fly Fishing Championship in Cherokee, NC, qualifying for the National Fly Fishing Championship in Boulder, CO. Wayne is on the Ross Reels, G.Loomis, and Frog Hair Pro Staffs, and is a member of the Federation of Fly Fishers Guide Association.
