Justin Damude

Raised in a small town outside Buffalo N.Y. Justin has been fishing the rivers and lakes of Western New York for the better part of 25 years. His passion for the sport has taken him all over the country fishing waters from Florida to Wisconsin and many in between. In the spring of 2015 Justin was part of the creation and launch of the well known fly fishing blog Hiptothestrip.com. He is also @esoxulator on instagram and recently his pictures have been featured in publications such as the Umpqua Feather Merchants Wholesale 2016 catalog, and Rep Your Water catalog to name a couple. He is also proud to represent Temple Forks Outfitters, Rep Your Water, Kast Gear, Smith Optics, Souplefly, Rusuperfly, Umpqua Feather Mearchants, Vedavoo, and Flymen Fishing Company.
