Ron
Abby, the president of

his favorite waters as business will allow.
History
My father was a fly-fisherman. With his help, I caught my first trout: a seven
inch golden, on a McGinty. We were 9000 feet up, standing in a snow bank at the
edge of a pocket lake that drained into the headwaters of the San Joaquin River.
I remember shivering; perhaps with excitement but also with the coolness of a
crisp May morning. It was 1938, the beginning of my love affair with trout.
Eight years later, my entrepreneurial father moved our family to a mining claim
on a tributary of the pristine Smith River of northern California. Obtaining a
"special use" permit from the United States Forest Service, our family built and
operated the rainbow trout hatchery and farm known as "Trout Haven". My teen
years were spent either working with the trout or fishing for them on the Smith
and its feeder streams. Fishing as often as time and resources allowed, the
years passed more quickly than I could have imagined. My rapture with trout
continued. In 1975 I met a fellow fly fisherman who was renowned as a fly tyer
extraordinaire. Dissatisfied with his tying equipment, he said, "Ron, why don't
you build a good vise? One that will hold a hook!" In 1981 I presented him with
my first production vise. That was the beginning of
Dyna-King®, and that
fisherman and fly tyer was Grant F. King.
