At TroutRoutes, our mission is to inspire you to explore confidently with insights and knowledge on where you stand. We strive to empower trout anglers with information to help you go further and discover new waters, new places and new faces. TroutRoutes is proud to be able to connect you to local resources and experts, such as fly shops, guides, local brands and non-profits. We are even more proud to do so while helping protect the limited natural resources we all enjoy through value driven initiatives.

Formed in 1990, TCO Fly Shop is the largest, most complete fly fishing outfitter on the East Coast. TCO (Tulpehocken Creek Outfitters) was named after one of the finest tailwater fisheries in the east, the Tulpehocken Creek. Our vision is simply to be the best, most trusted and respected fly fishing retailer on the planet with extended focus on ideas and concepts that facilitate growth of the sport and in turn the industry.

Angling journeys vary greatly. And there are a great many guides that operate very different businesses, offering different approaches to anglers with different goals and values. The importance of the energy that's created in a boat by the folks in it as they approach the water cannot be overstated.

I take great pride in guiding the way that I fish. I will always place adventure and the opportunity for trophy fish and special experiences above the easy, average option, unless it's clear that the latter route should be taken. I do not guide in conditions I wouldn't personally fish, and I don't launch the boat without confidence in the possibility of success. The business we run is intended to be a long-term one built on passion and relationships with special places, people, and creatures, and I relish every opportunity to share that with you.

Where we live in the Southeast is a region of incredible diversity. This diversity allows us to fish 365 days a year, and gives us the opportunity to study, learn from, and utilize different fisheries throughout the seasons when they're prime. Such versatility is the key to the success of our business, and the constant learning, innovating, and exploring that it necessitates is what drives us every day.​
