Jon

Jon's major interest is in saltwater fly fishing.
Proficient in warm and cold water fishing as well, he prefers the big ones
in the sea . Jon also teaches the
Fly Fishing School and Fly Casting
at FlyMasters. During the
warm season in Indiana Jon is usually teaching and does not get as much time
for fishing. Thus, when the weather is cold here he like to find
warmer climates and warmer fishing.
He also spends time casting after Pike,
Musky and Lake Trout in Canada. Trout fishing in Pennsylvania and
Michigan Steelhead are not out of the range of potential fishing (when he
has the time).
Jon can be reached at the shop or you can send him an

Derrick grew up fishing in the great trout streams of Northern Arkansas and
Southwest Missouri. It is still his favorite place to fish. He now fishes
the Smallmouth streams of Indiana and the great steelhead tributaries of the
Great Lakes. Derrick does many guided trips for smallmouth during the warm
months and steelhead and salmon when they are running. He loves to go
striper fishing in the Northeast every fall and can't wait for ice out in
the Saulte to fish for Coho, Kings, and Northern Pike. Derrick still does a
small amount of Marriage and Family Therapy but now prefers recreational
therapy in the form of taking novice fly fishermen on their first fly
fishing trip.
Derrick also teaches the
rod building class and will answer your
questions about that as well.

Ian taught himself to fly fish at 17 and has done nothing but fly fish
since. Having grown up in Northern Indiana he has spent many long
hours learning warmwater fly fishing. His favorite fish is the
smallmouth bass. "They can be as finicky as trout but always put up a
good fight". Having recently started saltwater fishing he likes to get
back to the sea as often as he can.
Ian also teaches the Beginning Fly tying and
Intermediate and
Skills Development Fly Tying Classes being offered at FlyMasters.
Among his other duties he manages the computers in the shop and
FlyMasters website.
