Michael Farnham of Washington D.C joins us on our pro waters in his region, and probably would fish parking lots with standing water on it if he thought there were fish there. The area of the country Michael is from is not noted for fly fishing and in efforts to help fly fishing take its place in community he persisted in requests from outdoors writers to “ just go fly fishing with me once” and if it doesn’t meet your satisfaction I promise to leave you alone. That one outing has lead Michael in his career to have article after article published highlighting as one outdoor once wrote, Michael is guilty of a special wizardry with the fly rod that most other conventional tackles users will never see. His credits include, TV shows on ESPN featuring Michael and fly fishing, ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games, Outdoor Life Network Masters of Fly Casting, articles in Outdoor life, Field and Stream, and American Angler. Michael’s fly tying skills in his own words, is nasty stuff that catches fish and not the eye of the angler. Almost all of his tying centers on the use of tubes, and epoxy colors. While not a production tier he is custom tier for in his owns words and tied to catch fish and not the angler. Michael also donates time for a number of charitable causes, Children’s National Hospital, St Jude’s Hospital, Wounded Warriors, and Project Healing Waters, and he himself is a veteran. We welcome Michael aboard. He can be reached at Michael_f@usa.net and through our shop. |
