Jeff Henderson
I grew up in Pennsylvania, spent a couple years living in the Driftless Region, and am now vagabonding around the US. Professionally, I am an aquatic ecologist focused on stream and river restoration.
My passion for fishing stems from my youth and has led me in several directions from competitive bass fishing, to backcountry fly fishing adventures, and even saltwater excursions.
I pride myself on this diveristy, as it has allowed me to develop an immense knowledge in fishing. I have been fortunate for opportunities to travel both across the US and internationally chasing a variety of fish species with my fly rods. When I am not fishing, I enjoy teaching others, backpacking, biking, skiing, drinking beer, and documenting my experiences with my camera.
Send me a message and we'll get you geared up for your next fly fishing adventure!

No pressure/transparent Great dude
The first time Jeff reached out, I happened to be in the middle of dealing with a lot; sick, moving, a car accident. Instead of pressuring me, he wished me well and said he’d get back to me to check on me and see if I was ready. (Honestly I still would’ve shopped that night probably) but he did check up on me and he did wait weeks before bringing up offers. He found me the items I needed and the deals that would save me. I plan on doing all my shopping through curated now as I am newer to fly fishing. No more buying stuff just to test it. He’s got the answers

Outstanding
Jeff has done an amazing job on hooking me up with some great deals. I recently broke my fly rod while chasing wild Brookies in northwestern Pennsylvania as I was hiking through the mountain laurel so I am in need of a new light WT rod. Jeff is very knowledgeable/experienced when it comes to fly fishing and I can’t thank him enough for his quick response and knowledge. I highly recommend this fly fishing guru.
Thanks again brother!

Great Advice and very responsive!!
Easy to work with, super knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job helping me put together a kit that met my expectations both for performance and price. Learned a lot through the process as i was able to ask any question i wanted about equipment, techniques, and just general fly fishing knowledge. Will absolutely reach out to Jeff in the future and enjoyed the shopping experience the curated model provided.

Super Helpful!
Jeff was very helpful and was able to suggest a product that was exactly what I was looking for. It was nice to have someone who is knowledgeable and in the industry working to provide me the best product possible. Would recommend to anyone who is new to fly fishing and I am sure he is great even if you’ve been in the sport for a while already.
