Through fly fishing, Adam Perez has visited some amazing places such as, Finnish Lapland, the Norwegian Fjords, and Alaska.  

Currently Adam Perez lives in Southern California and work as an engineer for the City of Los Angeles.  His enjoyment and passion for Fly Fishing have allowed him to take advantage of the amazing waters off of the SoCal coastline.  On most weekends, you can find Adam Perez chasing calico bass, yellowtail, bonitos and barracudas on the fly, off his 18 foot center console skiff.  One of Adam Perez’s passions in fly fishing is the art of fly tying. He has been recognized as an innovative fly tyer and is often asked to participate in local fly fishing shows and programs.
