About FlyFishr

Welcome to FlyFishr, your go-to place for all things fly fishing! I’m Mike Thompson, the heart behind this blog, and I’m excited to share my lifelong passion for fly fishing with you.

Growing up in West Virginia, surrounded by the pristine rivers and streams of the Appalachian Mountains, I developed a deep love for the sport. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve cast lines in waters both near and far, always searching for that perfect catch—and learning something new along the way.

At FlyFishr, it’s not just about the gear or the technique (though we’ll definitely cover plenty of that!). It’s about the stories, the adventure, and the connection to nature that makes fly fishing a way of life. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just picking up your first rod, there’s something here for everyone.
