Jarid Church - Statesville, North Carolina

Jarid Church, Firehole ambassador

My name is Jarid Church and I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. As a young man, I spent a lot of time fishing and then, around 15, I made a natural transition to fly fishing. Shortly after taking up fly fishing, I became interested in tying flies. It was only after 2015, when I joined social media, that I started taking it more seriously. I began tying flies outside my comfort zone and trying to improve, not only in fly tying but also in photography. I mainly fish for trout, but I also enjoy fishing for bass.

Why You Trust Firehole

Firehole chose me many years ago when the company was in its infancy. I got some samples and quickly fell in love with the designs, affordability and the message/mission driving it. As the company has progressed into a different chapter, I can't wait to see where it will go.
