Lance started fly fishing with his father and brother Lincoln at age 7. In his teens, he began tying flies commercially for shops all around Northern California. At 17, he went to work at Powell’s Fly Shop in Chico, working in the shop and building rods. In 2003 Lance and his wife, Kirsten, launched Lance Gray & Company, a full-service outfitter offering guided trips, fly-fishing tours, workshops, and a travel agency. Lance is a signature tyer for Aqua Flies, a pro staff member for Sage, RIO, Simms, Fishpond, and Umpqua Feather Merchants, and conducts presentations at fly clubs and fly-fishing shows. Lance writes the “Foraging Angler” column for the magazine, getting helpful input from his wife, Kirsten.
