Barry Puskas has fished since he was five years old. He got started fishing with his father and grandfather targeting trout, bass, catfish, and other freshwater species. Later in life, he was drawn to saltwater fishing on the Atlantic coast, which then expanded to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico where he now travels to fly fish frequently. Barry has two entries for the IGFA Trophy Largemouth Bass Club on fly and the IGFA Bass Grand Slam on fly. Today, Barry enjoys finding new fishable water and trying new techniques to catch game fish on fly. He works as a professional engineer in water resources, hydrology, hydraulics, and mapping while also promoting river access, fishing, and fish habitat improvement.
