Craig began fly fishing in the mid – 1970s, concentrating on searun cutthroats native to Oregon coastal streams. Trout explorations have taken him to the still and moving waters of Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon. Blue water fishing for searun cutthroat trout, salmon, bone fish and tarpon has become an increasingly popular venture for him as well. In 2004, Craig achieved designation as Certified Casting Instructor with the Federation of Fly Fishers.
