Author of Drag Free Drift - Leader Design and Presentation Techniques for Fly Fishing

Joe Kissane is an Engineering Geologist now living in Chicago, Illinois.
Among his fly-fishing interests are technical elements of leader design and fly selection. He began fly-fishing in the 1960s and 70s on vacation trips to southeastern Idaho and throughout the western U.S. and Canada.

He later honed his skills during college and graduate school at universities strategically located near trout streams in the Rockies of Montana and the Missouri Ozarks.

    Hornbergs

    The Hornberg can be cast out upstream and drifted as a dry fly. It can be pulled under the surface and stripped as a streamer. Is it a caddis? Stonely? A minnow? In early '01, a bunch of guys swapped their favorite Hornberg patterns.
