interesting read

Aaron didn't you learn all of your Czech nymphing information from Davy, Loren Williams and all others that this information was procured from? Didn't you learn from Loren Williams, bring him down for a clinic and then start teaching your own which are a direct ripoff of his? I just joined your forum and was amazed at how much you really just talk about how good you and the person referred to as juice are. If memory serves me right weren't you recently disqualified for using an illegal egg pattern? You should realize that there are a lot of other people in the fly fishing industry that do things equally if not better than you. I know you will delete this post shortly after it is posted but a real person would take this post to heart and do a little soul searching.

Regardless of what AJ says, or thinks about me, he is a great fisherman. He is a good guide, and a good teacher. Where and how he learned his information is of no consequence.

I feel kind of slighted that anyone on this site (especially those that have never fished with me) would say that my classes or guide trips aren't worth money. Come take a guide trip with me, or a class and then talk. That's all I'll say about that. I've had clients this year (in our first 6 months guiding) that said we were some of the best guides they have ever had. One of which fishes with about 10 to 15 guides a year all over the country. 3 of our clients have already booked repeat trips. If I wasn't worth the money, why would they book repeat trips. Are we as good at catching fish as Aaron? No. But I feel our guide service and classes are top notch, and that has nothing to do with how many fish Aaron can catch.


This is more of a response to the other thread that was posted here. If you are a part of this site, you should book with Aaron. I'm in not trying to steal from the guy. I have had no problem mustering up my own business.

Threeup,

I am not going to get worked up because you have the right to say whatever you want. I do speaking engagements and I give those guys full credit there. Have you listened to my pod cast on FFIR? I mentioned Loren's name at least 10 times as well as Davy's. Loren even told me in a phone conversation that I was quailified to do my own classes. I would not want to take people's money for somehing that is sub par. Also, I would never go up to Loren's or Davy's area and do a class on somehing that they are experts in. So I think that before you go spouting off you need to go look back and see that credit is in fact given. Also, since you like to throw stones why don't you at least have the decency to use you real name?

Chris,

You guys can do whatever you like but as you said you will keep it off my site. You didn't do that because, your friend Jamie was on here advertisng free fishing classes. So if you are going to make statements like that please adhere to them.

As for the egg deal. Anthony has been working dilligently and I have faith I am going to get the 7th place points that I deserve. I hold zero fault wih Team USA or the captains for voting to disqualify the fish. If I were given the same false information I heard that they received, I would have done the same thing...

Well said Aaron.

I don't think we have a problem here with Chris or anyone trying to make a buck, but in Aaron's backyard, for free, that's over the line, and then Chris' buddy comes on here and steers business away from Aaron, also over the line. By the way Aaron also guided for over ten years before he started giving clinics on technique.

Aaron and I are the first to give credit where it is due. I don't know where all this "Aaron doesn't give credit" crap started, because it's crap. He gives credit to Davy and Loren and anyone else that helps him and I can point it out a hundred times on this site, audio podcasts, and other places as well.

I'm not sure what Aaron has to take to heart or soul search about, but this doesn't seem constructive either and the purpose of this site is to spread information and share experiences, not attack Aaron, so unless it is something constructive to add to the community, please don't post.
