I grew up in the Laurel Highlands and have been obsessed with fishing for as long as I can remember. I have a passion for hunting rare fish and started wrapping my own rods out of necessity as off-the-rack options did not fit my niche style of fishing. This evolved into building gear for friends & family eventually maturing into Monarch. My goal is to provide you with the best fly fishing rods money can buy. If there is a way I can help you get set up for your next fishing adventure please contact me or connect with us using the links below.
