1 - Dave: Please tell me how and when you got started into fly fishing.
Barry's parents had a shop in Berwick, Pennsylvania, so he grew up in the business, eventually tying flies for the shop. Later he tyed flies for Orvis and managed the Leonard Rod Company's mail order fly business. I grew up in a fishing family but not fly fishing. I started fly fishing when I met Barry, now almost 30 years ago.
2 - Dave: Tell me what inspired you to write Pennsylvania Blue-Ribbon Fly Fishing Guide?
Pennsylvania will always be very special to us. We've got lots of favorite places to fish and wanted to let people know just how much fishing we have right here in our home state. Not only does Pennsylvania offer lots of different kinds of fishing, it's beautiful too.
