Introduction

Fly fishing/ fly casting, count me in! I'm a Casting instructor for the Federation of Flyfishers. For me teaching someone to fly cast is as much fun as fishing. Let me know if you have questions or would like to meetup for a casting session.

Have you ever been fly fishing?

All my life, and then several years back I learned the science as well as the art of fly casting. I enjoy Bass, trout, cat fish, bone fish, striper, tarpon, snook, sunfish,and even carp! I enjoy casting to targets along a tape measure as well.

How did you find us?

A family member told me about the 'meetup' concept, and then I typed in Flyfishing...BAM!

Where do you live? (Area)

Alpharetta/JohnsCreek

Favorite Stream / River to fish...

I fish any and all water. Lake, stream, river, salt, I love any time I can cast on any water.

Are you interested in Fly Tying?

365 days a year- I always enjoy planning a trip or vacatoin and tying something for that specific event. My advice is always tye at least 3 of each pattern---one for me, one for the tree, and one for the friend.

Additional Information

"If you get a chance see the FFF web site and if you would like to join I can get specials on the rates."

Some times it's nice to meet others that enjoy fly fishing, share experiences, places to go and time together.

  • So far so good...I just hope the expected rain doesn't make me sick afterward! Any chance that the rain levels will get so bad as to postpone the event? You'll let us know if there is a chance.

  • Hello Rene. I live in Duluth and I try to fish the hooch at least once a week. Although I still use the spinning rod most of the time. I would love to get out with someone who is good with the fly rod sometime. Maybe you could let me know of an outing that would be helpful? Thanks.

  • Thanks, Rene. I am very much looking forward to fishing the Hollow. Have had very little time to fish lately, so I am working on quality over quantity. This is a link to my brothers blog about my trip to Colorado this fall. http://blog.atomjohnson.com/?paged=2 Enjoy if you can. It was amazing!!

  • Hi Rene! It was great finally meeting you as well! I enjoyed the seminar and pleased to see how cooperative the fish were! Wish I could have spent more time with you, Rami, and Mike after the seminar but will definitely catch up next time. Looking forward to it!

  • Hey Renee, I did get what I needed and I even made a scouting trip there today. I plan on hitting the river on Monday or Tuesday. As soon as I get this knot tying down ;-D

  • Hey Rene,

    Man, I hate to back out, but something has come up and I am going to be out of pocket. I do apologize and I appreciate you reaching out and getting me in on the trip, but I will have to make the next one.

    Let me know if it's to short notice for anyone else and I will check with Clark and see if he can make it.

    Best Regards

  • Thanks for the welcome Rene. Once I do a bit of maintenance on my fly rod, I'll be able to start attending events.
