About the Author:
Doug Stewart, a lifelong fly fisher, is also a fly-tying instructor and guide and a fly shop owner, and has written about fly-fishing for The Oregon Sportsman and Amato Publications. Doug spent many years teaching customers how to fly fish during the thirty-two years he owned Stewart?s Fly Shop. ?I think I get more out of teaching someone, out of seeing them be successful or catch their first fish, than I do out of catching my own,? Doug says.
