Matt Supinski is a renowned fly fishing author/ guide/photographer/consultant,
culinary trained chef, food and spirits connoisseur and world adventurist specializing
in progressive techniques in the pursuit of trout, salmon, and steelhead in the
Great Lakes region and beyond. For nearly 50 years, Matt has dedicated
his life to understanding the behavior of salmonid species and has developed
his "selectivity" theory based on his experiences around the world
and most notably in the Great Lakes, where he was born and raised in Niagara
Falls and also in Europe. Matt's passion and knowledge for steelhead and
Atlantic salmon on the fly is unmatched, studying closely the ‘life survival
predator strategies’ and how the fish feed and behave to all the stimuli
anglers must encompass and focus on when in pursuit . In 2010 he guided Tom
Aufiero to an IFGA record for landlocked Atlantic salmon right here in
Michigan! He has been a regional editor for FLY FISHERMAN magazine for
close to two decades, columnist for many publications and has written hundreds
