 Let
me introduce myself. Prior to my current professional piscatorial
pursuit, I spent 27 years in the Television Broadcast Industry,
which concluded in 1992. Following much soul searching (about
30 seconds worth), and with a little jingle in my pocket,
I decided to turn this opportunity and my passion for flyfishing,
into a career.
To date I have chased Kamloops trout and the odd Bonefish
with a fly rod for 43years, the last 7 as a full-time professional
guide. I spend in excess of 180 days on the water every
year.
I dabble at writing, a weekly flyfishing column, "Of Feathers
& Fins", for the "Kamloops Daily News" and under the same
by-line for a major outdoor web site "The BC Adventure Network"
and Sea to Sky's Publications "The Interiors Outdoor Adventure
Journal". I still play at television with a Micro series
"Of Feathers & Fins" a 10 episode series on Stillwater
Tactics. I am partners with and produce Brian Chan's instructional
video series "Flyfishing Strategies for Stillwaters". I have recently co-authored a book titled "Flyfishing Small Lakes for Trout" with Kenneth Strand. I
am also on the board of directors of the Thompson Okanagan
Tourism Association.
I do not and will not purport to be an expert. I have only
known two flyfishers I would call experts, Jack Shaw and
the late Heber Smith, pioneers in flyfishing for Kamloops
trout. In flyfishing one should never stop learning, or
typically being unceremoniously taught; by the fish we pursue,
the invertebrates they pursue, and the weather that frequently
pursues us! Being humbled on more than one occasion I think
I have learned a little and have been blessed by a circle
of quality fly-fisher pals who have taught me more than
I could ever teach them. Thus armed, hopefully I can pass
along to you, on the BC Adventure Network, some of these
lessons learned as tips or how to's.
As a guide, Gordon has clientele of all experience levels,
and particularly enjoys teaching the art of flyfishing to
beginners.
