Salty new guy

[Chasing_Tails]

Hello all.

I was born and raised in Western PA (Leechburg) until I was 18 when I moved to Florida for college and have been down here ever since. I am typically found on the inshore flats, marshes and rivers on the east central coast chasing redfish, sea trout, snook and tarpon out of kayaks. Been a fly tyer since I was 13 and was a commercial tyer that sold to many of the shops in western PA way back when.

Thankfully I have a job that has me travel for several weeks every year to the Pacific Northwest getting my river fishing fix in for wild redside rainbows and mountain whitefish.

I have been visiting back home in the fall for the past few years targeting steelhead up in Erie but now have a house in Freeport and will be frequenting the area more.

Thanks for having me.

When I lived in PA I spent the majority of my time chasing warmwater species so I am still learning the trout game up that way. I am hoping to come up for a trip in late spring/early summer to explore the area again.

Thanks all for having me.

Freeport area has Buffalo creek its a stocked creek and up stream has a keystone select DHALO area if you need to scratch your itch on some trout it's by far the nicest stocked stream in the whole area
