Steve Culton

Fly Fisher, Guide, Fly Tier, Author, Instructor

Steve Culton has been writing about fishing since the first grade when he composed an essay about an outing with his father. Since then, Steve’s work has appeared in magazines – remember those? – like Field & Stream, American Angler, Fly Fish Journal, The Drake, Flyfishing & Tying Journal, Eastern Fly Fishing, Fly Rod & Reel Online, and Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide. He is a member of the Regal Vise Pro-Staff, a J.Stockard Pro Tyer, and his first book, Fly Fishing Guide to the Farmington River, was recently published by Stackpole Books. Steve wears many hats: fly fishing instructor, guide, speaker, fly tyer, freelance writer, husband, father.

His fly fishing interests include trout, stripers, steelhead, smallmouth bass, and small stream native brook trout. Whether he’s greased-line fishing 12” flatwings for stripers with a 5 weight rod and a 9 weight line or swinging old Yorkshire soft hackles for trout, one thing is certain: Steve likes to fish when, where, and how most other people don’t.
