Craig Matthews is one of the most prominent figures in fly fishing, with a career spanning half a century and an influence that is immeasurable. Making his home in Montana, Craig’s fly shop, Blue Ribbon Flies, became an icon as he educated and helped generations of anglers find their way with a fly rod. Craig’s many fly creations, like the Sparkle Dun and X-Caddis are in my fly box, and they’re probably in yours. Craig also founded One Percent for the Planet, a collection of outdoor retailers, now approaching one-billion dollars donated to preserving and enhancing trout rivers across the country.
Craig has authored nine books, the latest of which is titled Pheasant Tail Simplicity. It is a wonderful text that details the mysteriously attractive nature of pheasant tail flies for trout, while also sharing stories and philosophies around a simple approach to this sometimes complicated game of fly fishing.
I’m pleased to present my interview with Craig Matthews . . .
