Howard Cole - Casting & Presentation

I met André Puyans over twenty years ago as a fledgling student in one of his renowned fly tying classes. At one point in the class, Andy queried each student their level of fly fishing experience. When it came my turn, I smugly answered “I’ve slung a little line.” Andy knew right then and there that he had a problem child on his hands. After several marathon fly tying sessions with Andy, I quickly realized how little I really knew about fly fishing. Determined to make up for lost time and learn all I could about fly fishing, that summer I enrolled in his seminar. I have worked every one of Andy’s schools since and have never looked back. And since that time, I have slung quite a bit of line, for all types of fish, at various locations over the globe.

I live in Jackson Hole Wyoming with my wife and daughter and I am the co-owner of High Country Flies. Living in the Yellowstone Area, I never take for granted having one of the world’s most diverse trout fisheries right in my backyard. The plain truth is: Trout live in the most beautiful places. Simply observing the subtle rings left by a rising fish, rouses the same emotion that I had when I first came to this sport.
