Taylor Streit
Fly Fisher/Fly Tier/Guide/Author
Taylor Streit was wading the fabled waters of New York’s Catskills before he was 10; then tying flies commercially and guiding in his teens. He moved to Northern New Mexico in the late 60s where—after “several minor careers and lifestyles”—opened Taos Fly Shop.
He’s guided fly fisherman for 40 years--primarily in New Mexico but in the Bahamas and Argentina as well. Guiding is what has paid the bills “there’s been no trust fund or endorsements; if the clients don’t catch we don’t eat.”
