Stu ThompsonStu Thompson has been casting his fly rod into Manitoba's lakes and rivers and tying flies since the 1960s. When he's not sitting at his vise, cranking out a dozen bucktail streamers, he writes for American Angler, Canadian Fly Fisher, Outdoor Edge, utdoor Canada, and other regional magazines. Thompson has also shared his fishing expertise by delivering seminars throughout Canada and the US, making TV and radio appearances, and working as a casting instructor in the movie industry. When he's not fishing you may be able to catch Stu at Cabela's in Winnipeg. He enjoys nothing more than sharing his enthusiasm for fly fishing and witnessing the excitement of others catching and landing their first fish on the fly rod. Tyed and True: 101 Fly Patterns Proven to Catch Fish is his first book.

Stu lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with his wife, Rebecca and springer spaniel, Gunner. His three children and their families also live in Winnipeg. Read More Read Less
