Joe Demalderis
I'm a fishing guide and outfitter who also spends some time writing things down. Fishing, cooking/food and just random thoughts are my favorite topics, but mostly I fish for a living and live to fish. In 2010 I was named the Orvis Endorsed Fishing Guide of the Year.
I've been published in several fly fishing magazines and have had my articles appear on hundreds of online locations.
