Bill Butts began his 45 year journey in the sport and arts of fly fishing on the lakes and trout streams of the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks. Today, his total fly fishing focus is on the Temperate Basses – Striped, Hybrid Striped and White Bass From a young age, he was fortunate to become friends with many of the fly fishing industry leaders that willingly mentored him in the skills of fly casting, fly tying, and photography. Dave Whitlock and Lefty Kreh are credited with being the most influential. Bill strives to share his passion and enthusiasm for fly fishing with anyone who requests his help, from newcomers to the sport to seasoned veterans. He firmly believes the sharing attitude that permeates this great sport is the very foundation of what makes it so great. Bill was a live internet radio broadcast guest on AskAboutFlyFishing.com, twice. And, an ItinerantAngler.com podcast guest entitled "White Bass & Striper Master Class". He is also an enthusiastic speaker to clubs and fly fishing events on the topic of Temperate Bass. A book and instructional DVD on the subject of "Fly Fishing for the Temperate Basses in Freshwater" are in their infancy stages.
