How to Fly Fish

A seasoned angler and fly fisherman, John Perrys is an expert in the fly fishing method and angling technique.  Well-versed in the DIY aspects of the fly fishing trade, Perrys creatively crafts his own artificial flies.  However, this is far from a beginner’s level part of the hobby!  Many people ask the Fly Fisherman: can someone fly fish without making their own artificial fly tackle and bait?  Perrys always responds with: absolutely!  And in this barter, that is exactly what he will teach you or a group of friends.  For the barter, Perrys will introduce you to the basics of fly fishing, including acquainting you with how to load fly tackle and cast a line out on the water.  For a more advanced lesson on how to create your own artificial fly: stay tuned!  Avid Fly Fisherman John Perrys is considering starting a class of his own for fishing enthusiasts of all ability levels. 

What is Sustainable Fishing?

Sustainable fishing is the practice of fishing in a manner that is respectful to the environment.  This includes, but is not limited to, fishing with respect to the reproductive rate of fish in a specific area, to ensure that species are not forced into extinction.  As someone who has been on both the hobby and business sides of the fishing industry, John Perrys is particularly passionate about promoting sustainable fishing.  With this barter, he will promote sustainable fishing by teaching a group or individual how they can sustainably fish in their area.  This could mean providing barterers with advice on how and where to sustainably fish at the local level, including environments to avoid.  Working directly with you, Perrys will advise you on how you can be the most environmentally conscious fisherman possible.
