Gary Edwards started fly fishing in 1966 on the famous Beaverkill River in the Catskill region of upstate New York. His love of the sport motivated him to move to Wyoming, the home state of his childhood idol, Curt Gowdy, host of The American Sportsman. Years later Gary shared the stream with Curt on a number of occasions, fishing some of their favorite Wyoming waters together..

In 1986 he and his wife, Robin, moved to the Lake Ontario region of NY, where they established the Wild River Inn. This classic fishing lodge provided guide service catering to fly fishers from around the world, who came to the area in search of trophy brown trout, rainbows, steelhead, and salmon. In 1988, Gary set an I.G.F.A. World Record on a fly rod, when he landed a 22lb. 9oz. Chinook salmon on 2 lb. test tippet. In that year he also became a member of the Outdoor Writer's Association of America (O.W.A.A.). Gary's fishing exploits and techniques have been featured in Fly Fisherman, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, Field & Stream, over 9 national TV shows, and countless regional publications..

In 1996 Gary and Robin formed the Wyoming Flyfishing Connection, a membership-only club, based in the Laramie, Wyoming area. The club offered its members access to over 15 miles of classic, private trout streams running through the mountains and prairies of southeast Wyoming’s most beautiful ranches. They sold the club in 2000 after beginning work on their next fly fishing adventure with PBS - TV..

In 1999, Gary and Robin began work with PBS as hosts of the series, “Flyfishing Destinations.” In 2001, work on the series grew into the formation of a new series, "Vacations on the Fly," which the couple co-hosted and produced. The program aired nationally through the PBS network, averaging 22 million viewers. It helped other couples and families plan great vacation getaways revolving around some of the best fly fishing opportunities in the world. It was only after beginning the work with PBS that Robin ventured into the actual sport of fly fishing. Her first lesson was with the queen of fly fishing, Joan Wulff. In the course of hosting "Vacations on the Fly" she continued to learn from some of the best instructors and guides across the country and around the world..

Together, the Edwards’ enjoy sharing their enthusiasm and love of the outdoors with both seasoned anglers and those new to the sport of fly fishing. They offer hosted trips to some of their favorite places throughout the Americas, most of which qualify as “the road less traveled.”.
