Pat has been a lifelong customer of Mad River Outfitters, to the point that we finally had to put him to work!
At the age of 3, Pat began fishing for bluegill and bass on his family property in Southern Ohio. Around the age of 10, he fell in love with the art of fly fishing and fly tying. Since then he has spent most of his time honing his skills on our local waters chasing everything from trout on the Mad River, Musky in Southern Ohio and carp every where in-between. He's also spent a lot of time on the Florida coasts fishing everything from Redfish to Permit. After finishing high school he pursued a career as a chef but soon realized that it was cutting into his valuable fishing time.
Pat has been with us since 2008, he's our Fly Manager. He is most legendary for his
Pike and
Musky guide trips aboard his Jet Boat or Clacka Craft. He also hosts trips to
Brazil and
Bolivia.
