Dale A. Darling

Hi. I’m Dale Darling – Christian, husband, father, grandfather, musician, learner, teacher, composer, author, fly fisher and publisher. But please don’t try to make me fit into a preconceived buttonhole, okay? I enjoy sharing all things fly fishing and have done so for many years in many ways. My books, including the extensive list of Fly Fishing Solution Books, teach fly fishing and fly tying skills.

A basic tenet that I hold is that fly fishing is fun; it takes us to beautiful places. While we’re out there we experience an odd combination of emotions from frustration to joy. Now and then, we experience a moment’s perfection, and build memories that last a lifetime. I think fly fishing is a pleasantly addictive affliction, and want to encourage my readers along its path.
