T. J. Camblin
aka: 4 wt 
Redlodge, Montana

 

I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming until I was old enough to see what else was out there, left home and followed the pro rodeo until I met my wife in Cody Wyoming.  Seven years ago we were married.

 

I rodeoed for only one more year after getting married.  I gave it up for a real job.  Went to work for a crane company where I started out rigging and moved up to truck driving and operating cranes.  

 

We moved to Redlodge MT in September of 2000 where I am now living with my wife and three girls, ages 12, 9, and  5.  

 

I started fly fishing and tying about six years ago and   I have met a lot of nice people fishing.  I've made a lot of life time friends and hope to meet a lot more.

 

 

 

 

 

Pictured on a bucking horse  is TJ at his finest during a rodeo at Cheyenne Frontier Days.  

 

Gives another meaning to "bucktail," don't you think?
