About One More Cast Fly Shop

 

Retailer: A long time customer of One More Cast, Joseph jumped at the chance to purchase the Shop when the owner retired.  He took ownership of the shop that horrible day in September when planes flew into two towers in New York. 

Fly Tyer: A commercial fly tyer, he ties over 600 dozen flies annually. Special orders are welcome.

Educator: More than a retailer, Joseph is a fly fishing educator giving many casting and tying clinics each year.  He is a member of and demonstration tyer for the Northern Illinois Fly Tyers and Chicago Fly Fishers and is a member of Trout Unlimited and the Federation of Fly Fishers.

 

     He has taught for both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America and Becoming an Outdoors Woman. A former instructor with the Orvis corporation, he is now a Certified Casting Instructor with the Federation of Fly Fishers. He offers casting clinics and lessons on an individual basis. He teaches several Trout Schools each year in Wisconsin.

                  

     He donates his time teaching Fly Fishing to Reeling and Healing Midwest, a group that holds retreats for women with or recovering from life-threatening cancer as well as Reel Recovery, a group that works with men with or recovering from life-threatening cancer.

     Print Media:  Joseph is an author whose writings have appeared in the Chicago Tribune, American Angler, Far & Away, True North Trout, Yale Anglers' Journal, and Hatches magazine as well as having some his short stories published in Looking Over the Bridge Rail; many of those stories appear in this website: Here He appears as a guest columnist for the Outdoor Notebook and Angling Trade, an industry publication.  His newest story I Now Teach With Ease appears in Volume X Number 2 of Yale Anglers' Journal; his second story accepted by this publication. His story, They Hate Your Spy-Duh appears in the May 2009 issue of Gray's Sporting Journal.

     Electronic Media: Joseph has appeared live on many radio and television programs. There is a poorly produced but fun video Here.  On occasion, Joseph guest hosts The Outdoor Notebook Radio program, the longest continuously running outdoor program in the Chicago area.

 

     Culinary Arts: A former Executive Chef, Joseph will offer another series of Coulee Cooking Schools in Viroqua, Wisconsin for 2010 that showcase the area’s bounty using in-season foods grown locally then cooked simply (advocates are known as “locavores”). Meyer will lead students on a morning excursion to the Viroqua Farmer’s Market, cheese shop and the local Vernon Vineyards winery for a tasting of locally produced wines. Cooking Schools
