Joseph Meyer is the Owner of One More Cast Fly Shop in
Countryside, Illinois.
Previously, he was an instructor for the Orvis Corporation
where he discovered his love of teaching the art of Fly Fishing. A
long time customer of One More Cast, Joseph jumped at the chance to
purchase the shop when the owner retired and he took ownership of
the shop that day in September when planes flew into two towers in
New York.
Joseph considers himself a Fly Fishing Educator giving many
Fly Casting and Fly Tying clinics each year. He is a member of and
demonstration fly tyer for the Northern Illinois Fly Tyers, the Du
Page Rivers Fly Tyers, Chicago Fly Fishers and is a board member of
Trout Unlimited as well as a member of the Illinois Smallmouth
Alliance. As a commercial Fly Tyer, he hand-ties over 600 dozen
flies annually.
He teaches several Trout Schools each year in Wisconsin as
well as a Saltwater School and a Tarpon School in Florida, a Musky
and Northern Pike School Wisconsin. He donates his
time to teach Fly Fishing to Reeling and Healing, 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.
He has appeared on many
radio and television programs and is an author whose writings have
appeared in the Chicago Tribune, the Outdoor Notebook, American Angler, Yale Angler’s Journal,
Far & Away, as well as having his
short stories published in Looking Over the Bridge Rail; many
of those stories appear in the articles section of this website.
As a Fly Fisher, Joseph has fly fished for trout from Alaska to
Argentina but loves fly-fishing for every species of fish here in
the Midwest.
