Chris Bentley
Baghdad, Iraq

My name is Chris Bentley, I am 28 years of age and hale from Boise Idaho. For 20+ years I have been tying bugs to restock for my friends and myself. I also have been fly fishing for 23+ years throughout the western part of the US. In 2003, I earned my technical certificate in fish biology/management. This degree has helped me to better understand how fish select food during certain parts of the year.

Chris is currently serving the US military in Baghdad, Iraq where he is honorably protecting our freedom.
