About Salmo-Trutta Enterprises

Dave Rothrock, owner-operator of Salmo-Trutta Enterprises, has been fly fishing and tying flies since the mid-1960’s, and he calls upon this experience in his writing, instructing, guiding and speaking to numerous fishing and outdoor clubs. Dave’s articles have appeared in a variety of publications, including FLY FISHERMAN and PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER magazines. He is called upon for expertise and quoted by other writers, regarding fly selection and fishing techniques on Pennsylvania streams. He has displayed his fly tying skills at fly fishing shows throughout the northeast and Midwest U. S.—including the International Fly Tying Symposium—as well as shows in Canada and in Germany. His programs have delighted audiences throughout the eastern U. S. and in Austria.

As a fly fishing guide, Dave is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the streams of Pennsylvania, particularly in the central and northcentral regions. Since Dave is a Federation of Flyfishers—certified casting instructor, he is in demand both by individuals and by his colleagues who conduct fly fishing clinics. Dave’s expertise in the skills of fishing and knowledge of trout habitat is only matched by his expertise in teaching these to others. Dave has also served as an instructor in the L. L. Bean fly fishing schools in the Mid-Atlantic region.
