About Me:
Dan Spedding
Hi there, my name is Dan and welcome to Stay Fly Fishing. I started like most, fishing a rubber worm for bass as a kid, and graduated to fishing bass tournaments, which completely turned me off. I eventually found my way to the salt water and not long after, I found fly fishing. I fished the salt with a fly for years before ever casting one in fresh water. While I love catching something new, the focus of my fishing these days is trout and I’ve traveled the globe in search of them.
I live in Clinton, Massachusetts and fish my local waters, but I’ve been to all 50 states and have fished most of them. I can hold a conversation on just about every major trout stream in the USA. I even had the opportunity to fish in England and as far away as Eastern Europe. I’ve presented at The Fly Fishing Show in Marlboro MA and Edison, NJ, and I currently work summers at The Montana Angler fly shop in Bozeman, Montana.
I’m a 100% Do-It-Yourself type of person. I’ve never hired a guide and thrive off figuring things out for myself. I also get as much of a kick out of the fisherman and other oddballs I meet along the road. I guess you could say I’ve evolved into a first class trout bum.
