Sam has always been a fly fisher. Her home water is the Delaware which she has fished for the past 28 years.
She started out as one of the very few women on the water and has seen many more join the ranks. She guides on the East Branch, West Branch and the Main Stem down to Barryville. She has been a Certified Casting Instructor for many years and enjoys teaching folks how to Fly Fish.
Her travels have taken her to many beautiful places within the US, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, New Zealand, South American and places in-between. She and her husband usually spend September into October out west; her fishing and him riding his bike. It always amazes her husband that no matter where they go she knows someone.
Her favorite species happens to be Steelhead and casting for them with a two handed rod. You can find her in most years on the Olympic Peninsula in March and April swinging a two handed rod for steelhead.
She is the current president of Eastern Water’s Council of Fly Fishers International covering all of NY and NJ.
