For the past three decades, George Kaider has had two passions: teaching and fly fishing.
Now, he has found a way to merge those two into a new business.
Kaider, a Lake Geneva native and the owner and operator of In the Flow Fly Fishing Guide Services, takes locals and visitors through the creeks and rivers of southeastern Wisconsin, giving a longtime local’s trip to all the best spots to hook the area’s biggest fish.
Unlike many fishing guide services, which cater only to experts, Kaider also offers training days for newcomers to the sport.
With 30 years under his belt as a teacher, coach and counsellor at Mundelein High School in the Chicago suburbs, imparting the ins and outs of fly fishing has practically become second nature.
“I talk to each client on the phone, we discuss goals for the day. I get to assess their ability over the phone and their experience, and just build the day around their goals,” Kaider said.
Kaider has first-hand experience in the importance of learning the ropes of fly fishing. Unlike many anglers, who learn how to fish from a friend or family member, Kaider was self-taught, which he says led to some rough outings stuck in trees or breaking poles.
He stuck to it and eventually became a well-polished fly fisherman, thanks in part to many hours spent wading through rivers across the state.
