Mike Heck

Fly Fisher/Guide/Fly Tier/Author

Mike Heck has been fly fishing the beloved Cumberland Valley streams since boyhood. Childhood fishing years would be spent on the Falling Springs, where one could get a $0.25 ice cream from Frey’s Dairy and then back to fishing.

Once Mike got his PA drivers licenses it was “game on”. Days out of school would be spent on the many great spring creeks in the area. Mike was blessed to have been able to learn the art of fly fishing on some of the hardest and most famous spring creeks in the country.
