John grew up plying the local waters and is from five generations of Florida river folk. His family have fished, hunted and farmed the Mosquito Lagoon and surrounding waters since the late 1800's.

  Johns passion is fly fishing and has been guiding anglers upon his home waters for more than 15 years. His laid back style and approach to fly fishing the saltwater flats, not to mention local knowledge and hard work has established for him a solid reputation for being one of the best at what he does.

  To his credit John has appeared on several outdoor television shows as a guest and local guide to include; "The Walkers Cay Chronicles", "Spanish Fly", "Sport Fishing Magazine TV" and more. Numerous outdoor publications have documented his work including Florida Sportsman magazine, Fly Fishing in Saltwaters magazine, Eastern Fly Fishing magazine and Fly Fisherman magazine.

  John spends most days-off following the movements and rhythm of fish, continually researching and developing new fly patterns and fly fishing techniques.
