Sobre el Captain

Armando Giraldo
Bogotá, Colombia
I've been fishing since I was 6 years old, started as a bait caster and went on to spinning and casting until I discovered fly fishing at the age of 14 (27 years ago). Made my way as a commercial fly tyer while I was still in school and still tie and specialize in big predator flies. Fishing is that opportunity one has to clear the mind, be one with the surroundings, the river, the lake, the sea, the sounds of nature and that moment in which you get to fool a fish and get it to strike! Don't know about you, but I think about fish and fishing 24 hours a day and will talk fishing 48 hours a day! I Started guiding when I decided a 9 AM to 5 PM office job wasn't for me, like to work hard but want to feel free while meeting people, taking them fishing in my beloved Colombia, teaching whenever I can and learning from everyone I meet.
