Fishing with Daniel: Where the Real Magic Happens

Alright, let me tell you something—after 40 years of chasing fish in every kind of water you can imagine, I’ve learned a thing or two. And guess what? I’m still learning. That’s the beauty of fly fishing. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never held a rod or you’re the type who dreams in fly patterns—I’ve got something for you.

Beginners? No Sweat.
Look, we all started somewhere. Maybe you just wanna catch something, anything, without looking like a complete disaster. I get it. We’ll start slow—how to rig up, where to stand (hint: not right where the fish can see you), and why sometimes the dumbest-looking fly is the one that works.

For the Seasoned Anglers…
Okay, so you can cast. But can you cast when the wind’s trying to slap your line into next week? Or when the trout are being pickier than a kid at a broccoli buffet? That’s where I come in. We’ll tweak your technique, read the water like a book, and—here’s the kicker—actually understand why the fish are where they are. (Spoiler: It’s not always where you think.)

Workshops? More Like "Fishy Therapy Sessions."
Bring your buddies, your kids, even your skeptical spouse. My sessions aren’t just about fishing—they’re about water. The bugs, the currents, the way a river breathes. Kids? They’ll walk away knowing how to set up a rod and maybe even outfish you. And for the gearheads, we’ll tie flies that actually catch fish (not just look pretty in a box). Four hours, four to five flies—no fancy art degrees required.

Oh, and About My Flies…
I tie ‘em. I test ‘em. Sometimes I curse at ‘em when they don’t work. But when they do? Magic. Swing by the shop and grab a few, or tell me what’s biting (or not biting) and I’ll whip up something custom. No guarantees it’ll fix your luck, but hey—it’s worth a shot.
The Fish I Know Too Well:

Chub: Underrated fighters, honestly.
Roach: Sneaky little things.
Brown Trout: The moody artists of the river.
Rainbow Trout: Show-offs, every last one.

Bottom line? Fishing’s supposed to be fun. Let’s keep it that way.
