Saw Mill Fly Casting
After two decades as a police officer, Jay Engel turned his lifelong passion for fly fishing into an opportunity to share the experience with others. An avid angler since childhood, Jay recently embraced fly casting—a technique that uses the weight of the fly line to cast over varying distances. Drawing parallels to his rowing background, he compares fly casting’s skill and technique to using a rowing machine, emphasizing it as a distinct sport within fly fishing.
In his pursuit of mastery, Jay completed the prestigious L.L.Bean Fly Fishers International Casting Instructor Preparation Course in May 2019 under renowned caster Macauley Lord. He is now working toward earning his Casting Instructor (CI) certification from Fly Fishers International.
In November 2019, Jay launched Saw Mill Fly Cast to introduce beginners to the sport. He sees fly casting as a lifelong activity and believes that with a few lessons, enthusiasts can apply their skills in waters worldwide. Deeply committed to inclusivity, Jay is passionate about supporting individuals with disabilities, first responders, and veterans coping with PTSD—drawing from his personal experiences and the therapeutic benefits of fishing.
