When I’m not at school I like to fly fish.
How did you start fly fishing?
I just got tired of regular fishing and wanted to try something new. I went to Bass Pro, got a pole and got into it. There are tons of ponds a minute away from my house so I just skate over there.
What’s the secret to fly fishing?
Patience. It’s really frustrating at times. Sometimes you throw something at the fish and they don’t bite it. You throw another thing at the fish and, by the time you finally get the right fly, that’s what it’s called, you’re out of line. It just takes patience. That’s all I can say about that.
I’d like to be a fly guide when I grow up and take people out and fish. My dad’s in the Coast Guard so I kind of take after him. We fly fish together.
