My name is Anthony Vavrek and I have been fishing since I could walk. My earliest memories of family vacations consisted of trips in a small aluminum boat in the flood waters of a northern Michigan lodge catching everything from Bass, Pike, Bluegill and catfish. This led to a lifelong love of fishing that still endures to this day. In my late teens I discovered fly fishing and have been passionately devoted to the art of it as well as fly tying and fly rod building since. I worked at fishing stores and fly shops and was certified as a FFF Fly Casting Instructor and taught fly fishing classes up until I enlisted in the Coast Guard in 2000. In the Coast Guard I still managed to find time to fish and tie flies while not on duty, as well as learn other boating safety, boat driving and first aid skills. My career and the following years until my wife’s retirement enabled me to experience different locations and types of fly fishing (saltwater, mountain streams, Tidal flats, etc.) and also travel to New Zealand, Canada and Northern England. My wife’s family owns property in the Moosehead Lake Region and I have been exploring and fishing this beautiful place for over 20 years. I fell in love with the Wilderness and the incredible wild Brook Trout fishery it holds which is the last in the lower 48 states in such a pristine and wild nature. We chose to move here permanently in 2019 where I started the process to become and certify as a Registered Guide in the State of Maine where I would like to introduce and share my knowledge and love of the sport and hopefully, gain new followers to it.
