Michael Gracie
Michael Gracie is a sometimes information technology and finance consultant and a full-time fly-fishing junkie. A native Floridian, authorities transplanted him into the Rocky Mountains for the sole purpose of refining his very light tackle skills, but were ultimately dismayed when he found out that common carp will eat bonefish flies. Michael’s writing credits include Military Information Technology and Angling Trade, as well as a sizable chunk of the code that brings MidCurrent to you each and every day. He can be found purveying useful tidbits on a variety of subjects (but weighted towards fly-fishing) at michaelgracie.com.
