Through trial and error, collaboration and many years on the water, Jerry French is a purveyor of all things fly fishing. From flies, to rods, and reels, Jerry’s impact on the fly fishing world is dramatic to say the least. Many technical aspects of fly fishing is a direct result of Jerry’s experience, innovation and creativity.
