\nJohan Frenje grew up in Sweden\, spendi ng time there fishing for perch\, northern pike\, trout\, char\, grayling\ , and salmon. His passion for fly fishing for big fish started in the mid- 90s when he realized he could target northern pike with the fly rod. Johan moved to the Boston area in the late 90s for work. There he met a girl fr om the Vineyard\, got married and had kids. About 20 years later\, his pas sion is fly fishing the salt and freshwater in New England and upstate New York. Morris Island and Monomoy flats were initially the saltwater region s he fished the most. He moved to the MA north shore about 10 years ago an d Cape Ann and Plum Island are now the areas he mainly fish these days\, b ut he does fish the entire coastline from Housatonic in CT to Kennebec in ME. On freshwater side\, he spends time fly fishing the Merrimack River an d the Lake Ontario tributaries.
