Welcome!
As you know, it takes years on the water to master the art of fly-fishing. Mastery isn’t a single breakthrough but a slow accumulation of skill, patience, and experience. That process requires longevity—not just living long, but maintaining the durability, energy, and vitality to stay engaged at any age.
Yet after retirement, the sand in the hourglass seems to slip faster.
That’s why we don’t pin our hopes on bottles, pills, wrinkle creams, or hair dye. Real aging—the kind that matters—happens at the cellular level. The true story is not found in marketing slogans. It is discovered when you decipher the evidence found in peer-reviewed clinical research.

At Fly Fisher Fitness our purpose is to age with vigor. And that friends is about healthspan--the years you live with energy, vitality and mental clarity, no matter what condition may be present. Healthspan, or quality of life is the priority as we age.Â
You may have conditions. Research shows that 93 percent of adults age sixty-five and older live with one chronic condition (79% at least two). What makes the difference is how you feel, not how many medications you take or how many treatments you have endured.Â
The quality of your days is what counts. You are the fulcrum–the means for exerting influence in the direction of having good days or not so good.Â
I Speak From Experience
This is not chimera. A funny thing happens when you embrace the responsibility for the quality of each day, you find renewed purpose. And then, you discover a new aptitude for making fortunate discoveries accidentally. You not only have better days, surprisingly, you also have more days!
What’s Next
I am building a community for fly fishers and outdoor types. If you would like sharing your ideas, what has worked or not worked for you, conversations and feedback on living the strenuous life before, or after retirement, join me on Substack. Â
Please be patient. The building is in progress or you could say, under construction. I promise you there will be more to come….lots more!
