Tim is the co-author of Smallmouth Modern Fly Fishing Methods, Tactics & Techniques. The book showcases all the new information that has been learned over thousands and thousands of guided trips on his warm water rivers. Tim employs ten River Smallmouth guides and still puts in countless days on the water himself. He has been featured in ESPN Outdoors, OLN, Fly Fisherman Magazine, Catch Magazine, Fly Fishing Film Tour, Badger Sportsman, Eastern Fly Fishing, Sporting Classics and has hosted the Midwest
Sportsman television program. Tim and his wife are the owners of Tight Lines Fly Fishing Co. in
