Saw Mill Fly Casting: Passion Meets Purpose
From Police Work to Fly Fishing
After two decades as a police officer, Jay Engel turned his lifelong passion for fly fishing into a mission to share the sport with others. A dedicated angler since childhood, Jay recently embraced fly casting—a technique that uses the weight of the fly line to achieve precise, long-distance casts. Drawing parallels to his rowing background, he compares the skill and discipline of fly casting to rowing, emphasizing it as a standalone sport within fly fishing.
Mastering the Craft
In May 2019, Jay completed the prestigious L.L.Bean Fly Fishers International Casting Instructor Preparation Course under the guidance of world-renowned caster Macauley Lord. He is now pursuing his Casting Instructor (CI) certification from Fly Fishers International, further solidifying his expertise.
Saw Mill Fly Cast: A Vision for All
Launched in November 2019, Saw Mill Fly Cast was born from Jay’s desire to introduce beginners to the art of fly casting. He sees it as a lifelong pursuit—one that, with just a few lessons, can open doors to fishing adventures worldwide. Jay is particularly committed to supporting individuals with disabilities, first responders, and veterans coping with PTSD, inspired by his own experiences and the therapeutic power of fishing.
