Let us know if you have any questions. Graduated from San Fernando Valley State College ( Now CSUN ) when Ronald Regan was Governor and after a short stint at USC School of Pharmacy. While at Valley State in 1968, my father decided to buy a North Hollywood fishing rod blank manufacturer ( disaster in the making! ) and a small retail tackle shop. After deciding that making fishing rods was too involved, we grew the tackle shop and I decided that we would add a small fly fishing department. Upon graduating, I made the important decision that I didn't think I could work for anyone in the real world and decided to work full time in fishing ( I am still paying for that thought less decision ). We moved from North Hollywood to our present shopping center in June of 1970 with a 750 sq ft. full service tackle shop. Deciding that the future for Fishermen's Spot was fly fishing, we kept growing. Next stop 1500 sq. ft. and finally 2300 sq. ft. of half fly and half non-fly. In 2000 we decided to take a giant step and convert everything over to fly fishing and dump the rest. In January of 2001 we moved 100'ft to the east in the same shopping center. In 2004 my brother decided he wanted to retire from the family run business and in 2005, I took on a new partner, Ken Lindsay, my long time friend, who obviously wasn't thinking intelligently at all. Besides California, fly fishing has taken me to Belize, New Zealand, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, Chile and Argentina. My favorite type of fly fishing is small stream dry fly and Hot Creek Ranch is among my favorite local locations.
