Aaron Jasper

Fly Fisher/Guide/Fly Tier

Aaron Jasper fishes an average of 200-250 days a year, and has been fly fishing since the age seven. He really lucked out when he began fly fishing, because his Aunt was an acquaintance of Lefty Kreh through his photography seminars. In the beginning Aaron was lucky enough to be given several lessons, at fishing shows, from Lefty. He remembers the 3 flies Lefty had personally tied, which he gifted to a young Aaron, and he of course fished them on the Flat Brook in New Jersey. All those masterpieces eventually ended up in the same tree.

A major influence in Aaron Jasper's life was his grandpa who taught and mentored the young fly fisherman. Aaron fondly remembers his grandfather as a true Trout Predator on the stream. Even though he was many years Aaron's senior, Aaron recalls that he was tough to keep up with. He was like a vacuum cleaner on a trout stream, catching everything in his path. He also taught Aaron that no matter what he did, to do it on an all or nothing basis, and to be the best at what he does. Grandpa showed Aaron how to catch tons of trout on bait, lures and flies. To this day, Aaron recalls that he has never seen anyone who could match his grandpa's skill at catching trophy stripers, he was amazing. All of this was passed down from Grandpa Jasper to Aaron during countless fishing trips together.

Aaron's early fly fishing took him to New Jersey trout streams such as the Flat Brook, Ramapo and Pequest Rivers. Since that time, Aaron has been fortunate to fish some of the greatest trout streams around the country, fishing extensively in the Eastern United States, as well as travelling across the country to experience some of the very best fly fishing available out West. As a result of his travels, Aaron has learned many techniques, flies and rigs that have enabled him to constantly grow and improve as a fisherman.

In recent years, thanks to his very close friend Davy Wooton, Aaron has become a true student of many European nymphing techniques and other methods of trout fishing. Along with traditional style wet fly fishing, Aaron has become a great source of Euro-Nymphing (European nymphing) knowledge. Aaron is always happy to demonstrate a variety of Euro-Nymphing techniques from short leader Czech methods to longer leader Spanish and French techniques. While this style of fishing is an investment to learn, it is very often unequaled in it's fish catching potential.

Aaron enjoys fishing in many different conditions, because he enjoys the challenge. Whether it's snowing or freezing cold, you will find him fishing. If the streams are blown out, he will be there. He fish in these extreme conditions to find new techniques that will work, and Euro-Nymphing's versatility has allowed Aaron to really perfect his fish catching abilities, regardless of conditions.

When one truly understands and masters the variety of extremely versatile methods encompassed in the world of Euro-Nymphing, you have the power and potential to catch more trout, on any outing, anywhere, regardless of condition.

In 2007, along with his friend and web designer Justin Massimo, Aaron Jasper founded Trout Predator Online, a fly fishing community specifically aimed at disseminating and sharing good information about fly fishing techniques and destinations. Since then the community has grown to over 2600 members and is home to some of the very best information on the web about Euro-Nymphing.
