engagements and teaching many facets of both fly fishing and fly
tying across the Northeast and Eastern seaboard. His fly
patterns have been used across the globe, and he is a signature
fly designer for Montana Fly Company, which produces 22 of his
patterns. Rich's patterns have appeared in several magazines and
books, including his own publication, "Catching Shadows",
released in 2016. Although he fishes a wide variety of waters
and species, his first love is trophy trout.
