ROSS SCHWEINFORTH  started flyfishing at an early age in the foothills of the New York Adirondacks.  After enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps and a tour of duty inVietnam he settled in Tennessee with his young bride, and the two have remained together in the southeast.  His career encompassed fisheries biology, aquatic toxicology, and environmental engineering.  For many years he has tied flies, built new rods, reconditioned old rods and reels, tied leaders, twisted furled leaders, and tinkered with making flyfishing gadgets.  Ross is an FFF Certified Casting Instructor and has completed the Instructor Course at the Wulff School of Flyfishing.  When not on a stream he enjoys frequent fly casting practice in the woods on his mountain.
