Mike Atwell - Casting & Presentation

It is hard to believe that 20 years has past since Mike’s inaugural year with the Puyan’s Schools. Mikes’ western years began as a long-time guide for Mike Lawson at Henry’s Fork Anglers. He also taught the Fenwick schools and many schools across the country for Club Pacific. Mike has developed his unique teaching style through many years of instructing with the masters…Mel Krieger, Lefty Kreh, Jim and Carol Green, the Rajeffs, and, of course, the master himself…André Puyans. Over the last 20 years Mike has developed a successful fly fishing rep agency in the Northern Rockies and is proud to have represented the Sage Rod Company 16 years and counting. He has also been involved in numerous fly casting/fishing competitions such as The Jackson Hole One Fly, ESPN Fly Fishing Challenge and the Great Outdoor Games in Lake Placid; he received numerous awards and accolades for his involvement in these competitions. Mike has also been involved in national television, hosting his own show on ESPN “Inside America’s National Parks”, where Mike has the “painful” task of fly fishing in 12 very different locations, from Alaska to the Virgin Islands. Internationally Mike has traveled all over the world, from Christmas Islands to Chile, but is more excited to come back home to Elk Creek Ranch where his journeys began.
