A fly tying saltwater innovator, Joe has designed some great flies for fishing conditions common to many coastal anglers. Located in Cape Cod, it responds to the need for casting distance on the beach bound anglers and saltwater flies that are visible, but a natural look in the murky waters of the Atlantic from New England.
