Home: Clawson, Michigan
Occupation: Vice President of Van Horn Concrete (Auburn Hills, MI)
Married with 3 Young Flygirls
Age: 35
I started hunting and fishing at an early age and turned into a flyfishing
junkie about 7 years ago after a Lake Michigan Mykiss pulled on my string.
Things really have not been the same since. Now I have a small fortune in
flyfishing and tying materials, from drift boats to bead heads, that would
rival most fly shops. My wife says admitting you have problem is half the
battle, whatever that means.
Anyway, I fit flyfishing in between running a family owned business, helping
raise a young family, coaching soccer, and the honey do list. Needless to say
the "My Type" is a rare commodity.
I have chased steelhead and salmon from New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Canada,
and a lot of the rivers here in Michigan and have met some interesting addicts
along the way, in fact, I had thought I had seen it all. But then I met Matt
at his book signing last year, listening to to him talk about his home river
and the critters that swim in it made me sign up for Supinski's Steelhead Water
Seminar. The plethorea of knowledge Professor Matt serves up on his "on the
water" tutorial takes your angling skills to a new plateau. His cliff notes on
subjects such as fusion techniques and motion without movement will open your
eyes to a hole new way of chasing your favorite quarry on your home waters.
I have been on a couple of dozen guided trips and have learned alot, each guide
seems to bring something special to the table. Matt has his own table and it's
STACKED!!! From the style of hooks each fly is tied on, to the recipes of his
gourmet streamside lunch.
Think this is a cheezy plug? It's not its the real deal , and so is Matt.
Call him - it's time to go to school.
P.S. Don't forget your notebook and apple.
