My knowledge had outdistanced my pocket book and I was not keeping up with

competitors better off than myself. I had been schooled with Kentaro sakai a few years back and decided to use what knowledge i had gained to go a different route to get where I wanted to go. I have loved the challenge, and the ability to learn end of it. The joy of breeding a koi that placed against Japanese fish in a local koi show is as extravagant as I ever got.

Don't let anyone fool you, good breeders aren't cheap either!


When i learned to fly fish I naturally learned how to tie my own flies. There were times when just being able to make a perfect cast with an impecable imitation was enough to make me happy. Even if the trout came up, took a look and refused it, it still made me happy!
