About the Author

In German, Grossenbacher literally translates to Big River and according to some accounts, Keeper of the Brook, both translations of which the Grossenbachers have taken to heart. Surrounded by more than 800 miles of blue ribbon trout water, the Grossenbachers' home waters include the Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin Rivers along with the famous Paradise Valley spring creeks.

Brian Grossenbacher has a BA from Wabash College and a Masters in Education from Montana State University. Brian grew up fishing for pike, walleye, and bass with his father and grandfather but turned to the art of flyfishing after much prodding from his college buddy Mark Scott. Brian is the author of the Tying Flies Workstation, a comprehensive beginner's guide to tying flies, which has sold over 60,000 copies worldwide. He has also published articles in Fly Fisherman, Saltwater Fly Fishing, Flyfishing Quarterly and River magazines. Brian's photography has also been featured in The Drake, Fly Fisherman, Field & Stream, Fly Rod & Reel, Fly Fish America, Saltwater Fly Fishing, Trout, and the Trout Unlimited Calendar as well as various Orvis catalogs.

Brian was honored in the 2006 issue of The Drake featured with six other fly fishing photographers revealing their favorite photos.
