Josh Thelin is the founder and owner of All Points Fly Shop + Outfitter. As a guide and avid angler in both freshwater and saltwater, Josh loves targeting brook trout and landlocked salmon in the northern Maine woods as well as striped bass on the coast. Plus, his passion for flats fishing for bonefish, permit, and tarpon have rounded out his fly fishing and fly tying obsession. A native Mainer, Josh grew up and also now lives about 15 minutes from his fly shop. So his home waters have a deep rooted connection to his fly tying and business.

From Josh: “I have never been a patient or fast fly tyer (due to being meticulous), so the patterns I have designed are based out of a desire to be simple yet highly effective.”
