About the Author
Larry Tullis is a professional writer/photographer and fishing professional who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife, and son —when he’s not fishing elsewhere. He also helps develop fishing products for various companies and is an innovative fly tier. Larry Tullis guided fly-fishing anglers for many years on quality waters in Idaho, Montana, and Utah before landing his dream job guiding fly-fishers on many of the best trophy rainbow trout waters in Alaska. Both his extensive experience as a guide and the fact that he has fished many waters from Siberia to Chile have brought a well-rounded approach to this book. Larry Tullis likes to use techniques and flies that are often unconventional but will also learn local, traditional techniques and adapt what’s best about them to his methods. Larry likes to get into the trout’s head and try to understand what makes them do the things they do.
