With over two-decades as a beat cop under his belt, Jon Osborn uses his off-days for fly fishing and bird hunting. Author of Classic Michigan Flies "€" 16 Legendary Patterns, Jon also contributes to magazines such as Sporting Classics, Michigan BLUE, The Pointing Dog Journal, and Upland Almanac, among others.

Jon values faith, family, and friends even more than hunting or fishing and shares his life with an amazing wife, two exceptional children, and a hunt-crazed English setter. A close-knit circle of artists, educators, rod-makers, guides, and writers rank among his closest pals. No one is more grateful or amazed by all this than he is.
