Joe McGinley
BIO-
Joe grew up minutes from the store in West Lawn, PA. He began fishing the “Tully” with flies at the age of 14 and never looked back. During his teenage years Joe could be found walking the stream almost every day, and developed a true passion for fly fishing. After graduating from Penn State University, Joe spent two seasons on New York’s famed Salmon River, where he guided for Salmon and Steelhead. Joe was schooled on guiding at the Guide School in Bozeman, MT. After completing the classes, Joe traveled to southwest Alaska’s Bristol Bay region where he guided for trophy rainbows. Now back in Reading, Joe looks forward to guiding on the Tully and sharing is knowledge of the sport.

QUESTIONS WITH JOE

When and why did you start fly fishing?
I began fly fishing at 14 years of age. I've always been an outdoor enthusiast and was looking for a new challenge. Fly Fishing gives me an outlet to express myself and learn something new with every outing.

What is your favorite type of fly fishing?
I'm still a trout bum at heart. Always have been and always will be. Stalking rising fish is my true passion. However, I do enjoy bass fishing during the heat of the summer quite a bit.

What are your favorite waters to fish?
The "Tully" is my home away from home. Nothing beats the stream you grew up fishing. I also love the Delaware river system and the Salmon river in New York. Catching trophy rainbows on Alaska's Agulakpak river isn't bad either.

When your not fishing what are you doing? Past times, Hobbies etc...
I really enjoy music. Playing guitar and harmonica take up much of my non-fishing time. As well as snow boarding during the winter months.

What are your plans for the future within TCO, what projects are you working on and when can we see them come to fruition?

I am currently working to grow our destination trips. We will be running "Steelhead Camps" on the Salmon River starting in November. Also, I am working on some short fishing films for the website. My goal is to get our customer as stoked on fishing as possible.
