I have been an outdoor writer for over 30 years, with articles in many major sporting publications, including Field and Stream, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, Salt Water Sportsman, Fly Fisherman, Salt Water Fly Fishing, Fly Fishing in Salt Water and American Angler. During that same period, I have given shows, talks, and fly casting demos that teach fly casting, fly fishing and knot tying. I authored Inshore Fly Fishing , Lou Tabory's Guide to Salt water Baits and Their Imitations, published by Lyons and Burford and Stripers On The Fly plus The Orvis Pocket Guide to Fly Fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish published by The Lyons Press Publishers of New York. I feature slide shows including topics on saltwater fly fishing, fly casting, fly fishing Alaska, surf fishing, and knot tying, and ran the first salt water fly fishing school in the Northeast. I'm told it was the first in the country. I annually run, or participate in, over a dozen salt water fly fishing schools. I am a member of the Board of Governors on the Federation Of Fly Fishers' Casting Instructor Certification Program and a member of the Outdoor Writers of America. I have salt water fly fished for over three decades, and I am considered one of the early pioneers in the Northeast, inventing a number of flies for marine fishing. I have fished all over New England and the Mid Atlantic states, with trips to fishing locations around the world. I work full time in the outdoor field
