The guy really knows his stuff.
He makes Charlie Moore and Tred Barta really look like idiots.
I have a book "Advanced Freshwater Fishing Strategies" that has a section on smallmouth bass featuring him as the expert. It gives a little of his fishing history: His dad had him fishing when he was 4, got his fitst paid guide gig at 11, has a numebr of flies named after him.
I like his no-nonsense, honest approach to fishing.
No "re-living old tales of glory, no bragging about all his many accoplishments (like Barta), no comical hijinks and buffoonery (like Moore).
This guy just plain knows how to fish, and isn't afraid to pass on his knowledge.
