Erik has been fly fishing on and off since college but then, Erik tied his first fly over a year ago and was instantly addicted.  It has been a stepping stone for him to better understand the insects in local waters and why fish target certain flies better than others.  There is something about tying flies that helps Erik to escape the stresses of life and focus on something so small, only taking minutes sometimes from start to finish, that gives a sense of accomplishment.  It is a hobby that has allowed for creating great friendships off and on the water.  Often times with the other duties of life and family, it is hard to get out to the river or lake, but Erik can always whip out his bench and tie a few flies after the dust settles and everyone is asleep in the house.  There is nothing better than hooking a fish on something that you created with your own hands confirming that you must have done something right that day.  Keep on doing it right Erik, Stealth is glad to have you!

Jeff Morneau has been fishing since he was 5 with his father. It wasn’t until about 4 years ago that Jeff began his fly fishing journey, only to fall in love with the sport. More recently, Jeff began learning the art of tying flies with one of his good friends. Early on in his tying career, Jeff utilized videos to learn and has been rapidly growing since. The creativity involved, using different colors, making exciting patterns, and the strive to make the perfect fly are what drive his hobby. Although, not all flies may be perfect, Jeff is still tying, fishing, and catching to release. Jeff tries, like most of us, to document his passion of the sport and share his knowledge for the next generations to come. We are happy to welcome Jeff into our Stealth team!
