About Molly Semenik

While growing up in Michigan, I had plenty of water to practice my fly fishing skills. The Pere Marquette, Au Sable, and Jordan rivers were favorites. At the age of fourteen, my father gave me his Orvis Bamboo fly rod and that was the beginning of my venture into the world of fly fishing. In 1979, I moved west to Utah and spent the next twenty years fly fishing not only Utah's famous Green and Provo rivers but also as far south as Lee's Ferry in Arizona. And even farther south, I began fly fishing in the salt.

Now my family and I live in Livingston, Montana. I am surrounded by two mountain ranges with the longest of the free flowing rivers, the Yellowstone, cutting through the valley floor. In 2001, I became a Certified Flycasting Instructor through the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF). obtained my guide license and started Tie The Knot Fly Fishing, L.L.C. In the spring of 2006 I became a Master Certified Flycasting Instructor and partnered with Matt Wilhelm in a second business, The Yellowstone Fly Fishing School located in Livingston Montana.

Tie The Knot Fly Fishing provides fly fishing instruction in Montana and through out the United States. Classes are for men, women, kids and families. For women, I provide instructional, guided fly fishing destination trips in Montana and Idaho. These trips are not only fun for the women fly fishing, but, they learn and improve as well. If your interest is in an instructional guided fly fishing day on the Yellowstone, please contact my Outfitter since 2001, Dean Reiner (#5058) of Hatchfinders Fly Shop, Montana.

Please join me this summer and learn or improve your fly fishing skills. Select "instruction" for information about the 2008 instructional season.
