Truel Myers is a native Floridian who started fishing with his dad when he was around 6 years old and started fly fishing when he was around 10 years old (he has been fly fishing for 59 years.) Being from the South, he began fly fishing for panfish (bluegills) and bass and was catching saltwater species on fly tackle well before he fished for trout.   Truel began his career with the Orvis Company over 30 years ago (the past 25 years as the Head Fly Fishing Instructor.)  Truel is now "semi-retired" from Orvis and continues to conduct fly fishing and wing shooting instruction here in the South for Orvis, primarily at Mays Pond Plantation in Monticello, Florida, the Everglades Fly Fishing School in the Keys and soon in the Orlando area. For around 30 years, prior to 2026, Truel spent eight months in the South, mainly in the Keys and North Florida and four months in Vermont teaching fly fishing. He also started Orvis Fly Fishing Programs in The Bahamas and Belize.   Truel’s favorite type of fly fishing is sight casting to saltwater species and bass fishing the numerous Southern lakes and rivers. Truel has also fly fished in six countries. Value: $250.00
