Dec began fishing with a two-handed rod before modern lines and rods were popular. He quickly became a master of the Spey cast and continues to be at the forefront of new casting techniques and equipment. Dec's recent book, "A Passion for Steelhead" is one of the top books on steelhead fishing. When not working to save lives as an EMT firefighter, Dec can be found teaching two-hand casting and fishing clinics and leading trips to Alaska, Canada, Washington and Oregon. (We've been working on our own book, "A Passion for Dec's Beard".)
