Tony Ertola
Tony Ertola is a NY State licensed fishing guide, FFI Certified fly casting instructor, professional rod builder, and certified gear geek.
"Fly fishing for trout (and other species) has been a passion of mine since 1981. The grace of casting a fly rod, the beauty of trout streams, the hatches of insects and tying their imitations, I love all of it. I learn more each time I’m on the water. Introducing others to this awesome pursuit and teaching them the skills that lead to more fun and less frustration maybe the best of all." |

Lisa Weiner
In 2011 I was introduced to Jerry Jahn of Spey Casting North East. The rest as they say is history. I jumped in with both feet. Coming back weekend after weekend or whenever he had spare time. Since 2014 Jerry and I have been teaching two handed casting together. On weekends, when we are not teaching you can find us testing rods, fishing or even tying flies. We travel to do clinics from Long Island to Boston. I’m also a licensed Connecticut fishing guide and a member of the Sage Pro staff.

Jerry Jahn
Jerry has been fishing for Atlantic Salmon for over 30 years and 25 of them has been with the two handed spey rod. Jerry is an excellent caster of single hand and two hand rods, his enthusiasm is infectious and very well received by all of our students. He is focused on getting the student to understand Spey casting and only pleased when they have success.
