Robert DeAngelis has been trying to scare up bluegill on a fly rod since the late 1980s on farm ponds in central Kentucky. In the years since, hes focused his fly fishing energies on locations such as DePuys Spring Creek, the Yellowstone River (pictured with his new Montana Boatbuilders skiff) and Florida Keys. From farm ponds to the Florida Keys, Roberts knowledge, skill and passion for fly fishing has never diminished, and today he is a renowned instructor for the sport.

Since 2000, Robert has provided fly casting instruction for established schools, in private lessons and with Boy Scout Leaders. He is currently associated with the Wulff School of Fly Fishing in Livingston Manor, New York and active in Powderhorn Programs within the Boy Scouts Lincoln Heritage and Shawnee Trace Councils.

Robert has also been associated as an instructor with the LL Bean Outdoor Discovery Schools Fly Fishing School in Virginia, Dusty Wissmath Fly Fishing School in Pennsylvania, Little River Outfitters in Tennessee and Parallel 38 Schools in Kentucky.

Additionally, Robert enjoys visiting Scott dealers throughout the middle-South, offering product demos and casting programs at shops such as Fly & Shot (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky), Fly South (Nashville, TN), Wildcat Outfitters (Lafayette, IN), and Parallel 38 (Louisville, KY).

In 2006, Robert co-led a casting instructor workshop at the Federation of Fly Fishers Conclave (2006) in Bozeman, Montana. Robert is a Life Member of the Federation and is also an FFF Certified Casting Instructor. He has fished and led trips around the country and includes among the highlights (1) two seasons living and working in Livingston, Montana where he guided as well as worked for Dan Baileys Fly Shop, (2) scouting the flats outside of Islamorada, and (3) being associated with the quality products and community of Scott Fly Rods.
