Welcome to the basecamp page of resources for expanding your fly fishing success!

I have a confession, the true reason I ended up as "Doctor" Paul Gaskell was because my love of fishing led me into the professional study of river ecosystems and the connections between invertebrates and their predators. But the passion driving that study was angling - including four decades of fly fishing and fly tying.

The huge advantage of that deeper, biological understanding of how to read the water and present flies is one of the core gifts I'd like to pass on to you. It's a game changer and the area that most river fly fishers suffer from a pretty big blind spot. As you'll see below, there's a whole range of ways I can help you reach your goal of fly fishing mastery - from free content, paid courses, newsletter subscriptions and books - all the way up to personal coaching with me.

Enter the world where evolutionary biology meets the art of fly fishing.

When you have insights into the biology of fish, their prey and where they live it lets you see the otherwise hidden beauty of nature and combine that with the art of fooling the natural instincts of fish with the artistry of presentation skills and your hand-tied fly patterns.
