I was born and raised in Coquitlam, B.C, Canada and was fortunate to have parents who loved the outdoors. I have been fishing since I was 2 years old, and took up fly fishing and tying flies at the age of 11.
I am self taught in both fields and bought my first fly rod, reel and tying kit with my paper-route money. Shortly there after I started tying flies for 2 local fly shops in Vancouver. I then moved to Whistler in 1991 and skied and fished my ass off until 2004. Needing a change I sold everything I had and with a pack on my back and a rod in my hand I spent 1995/96 fishing the entire coast line of Australia and Tasmania. I fell in love with the place, the people and of course the fishing. I now live and work as a fishing guide in tropical North Queensland.
I have traveled and fished extensively throughout BC, Alberta, Alaska, Hawaii, The North and South Islands of New Zealand, Australia, The Yukon and Tasmania. I love sight fishing for anything that swims particularly Large Trout and Permit.I live to fish and fish for a living!
Its a one man's love for fly fishing and the outdoors. I have had a lot of people asking for prints, photos & flies over the years. So I decided to get with the times and have a website that features my wares.
Salmo ketta is the Latin name for Chum or Dog Salmon. Which is one of my favorite salmon species to catch on the fly in the rivers of B.C. So. combining Ketta and fly is how the name was born.
