Ripples on the Water was the inspiration of the husband and wife team of Jeffrey and Loretta Ripple. Fly fishing is their passion
and not just a hobby. If it swims, they will fish for it - having caught just about every freshwater fish on the fly rod.
Born and raised in the Laurel Highlands, Jeffrey has been tying flies and fly fishing since 1970. Fly fishing the pristine and overlooked waters in Somerset County and the Laurel Highlands for years, Mr. Ripple can tailor a fly fishing trip that is well suited to anyone's individual needs. The area abounds in different types of water that can appeal to anyone who casts a fly.
Since 1970, Jeffrey has taught fly tying, fly casting and fly fishing at all levels from beginners to advanced classes including classes for Trout Unlimited and private lessons for those whose schedules were limited. He has been published in major fly fishing magazines, appeared on television demonstrating Salmon Flies and 
performs demonstrations and lecturing for sportsmen's clubs. He has tied professionally for 30 years for various fly shops around the country. Although well versed in all aspects of tying, some of his specialties include nymphs, wet and dry flies in the original Catskill style as well as the classic Atlantic Salmon Flies.
Perfection in fly casting takes time, practice and patience. Over the years, many have said his fly casting is like "poetry in motion". Many people have stopped fishing just to watch him cast and ask for pointers.
