Jason Newell
Ontario - Canada
Fly-fishing has been a passion for over 28 years for Jason Newell. He has been fortunate to travel to some very interesting destinations including, Belize, Cuba, Los Roques Venezuela and the Florida Keys. His addiction to saltwater fly-fishing was the reason he decided to chase Muskies with a fly, as this is the closest species he could relate to Tarpon fishing. Jason owned and operated a Fly Shop for 10 years, which included teaching the art of fly tying, fly casting and guided many of clients into their first experiences with a fly rod. Jason has presented at numerous fly-fishing clubs, fly-shops, fishing shows and enjoys sharing his knowledge from what he has gained over the years. Chasing a Muskie with a fly has consumed a lot of his time over the last few years and his experiences include fishing the Kawartha Lakes and Lake St. Clair. Jason is a proud member of Muskies Canada and writes a column on fly-fishing for Muskie’s Canada’s official magazine, the Release Journal.
