I'm a 41 year old (2001) Funeral Director, Embalmer, and Manager of McClure Funeral Services in Graham, North Carolina. 

Although I started fishing at 4 years old I've only been seriously fly fishing for trout during the past 6 years, mostly in the mountain streams and rivers of western North Carolina.  About 80% of the flies I use are nymphs, of which I tie myself.  My favorite patterns to tie are beadheads.  I also enjoy camping and fishing with my family and hope to get my son interested in fly fishing. 

While trout fishing in the mountains remain my true love, I'm getting into saltwater fly fishing and tying.  My wife, Susan, needs no extra encouragement to take a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I can't stand just sitting there on the beach, so, why not get a saltwater fly rod.  When in Rome...
