Casting

Bill grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, MD where he learned to fly fish when he was eleven years old. The area’s local farm ponds and its tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay proved to be excellent fishing classrooms for him. During his teenage years, his passion for fly fishing grew by regularly reading Lefty Kreh’s “Maryland Outdoors” article, which was published weekly in The Baltimore Sun. Throughout his fly-fishing journey, Bill has had the good fortune to fly fish from New Zealand to Maryland and many places in between. Today, he fishes mostly on Lake Texoma and in the lakes and rivers of East Tennessee. His favorite place to fish is on the banks of Lake Texoma chasing smallmouth bass on topwater with his British Lab, Charleigh by his side. He divides his time between his residences in Lewisville, TX and Monteagle, TN. Bill is a Certified Casting Instructor (CI) with Fly Fishers International (FFI).

Dani started conventional fishing with her grandfather as early as she can remember. A planned business trip to Estes Park several years ago gave her the opportunity to finally try fly fishing. She progressed from a once a year fly fisher to spending approximately 60 days a year on the water. She is passionate about being a learn it all and giving back where she can. Dani is committed to diversity and inclusion, on and off the water.

Her affiliations include: Casting for Recovery, Texas Council Fly Fishers International, Texas Women Fly Fishers, Dallas Fly Fishers and Fort Worth Fly Fishers.
