About

Welcome to FishSmartly.com!

Hi there!

My friends call me Tommy, but everyone in the fishing world knows me as Tommy “The Trout” Gibson. Since I was little, I’ve been heading to the water, excited to see what kind of fish I could catch. My dad taught me the ins and outs of being a great fisherman, showing me how to read the signs in nature so that I could lure the often elusive fish. As I got older, I discovered that fishing, while a fun hobby, is so much more than just something to do in spare time. Like a lot of other great fishermen I know, fishing really has become an art – and one that I can’t get enough of.

And while I love a great day of fishing, as I’ve gotten older I’ve discovered another passion of mine: Teaching others how to fish.

I often spend more time these days at the river or creek helping new fishermen learn the tips and tricks my dad once taught me than I do actually fishing for myself – and I really can’t complain. Like the old saying goes, “Catch a fish, and it will last you a day. But teach someone how to fish, and it will last you a lifetime”.

I started FishSmartly.com because I truly love seeing people discover the joys of fishing – the right way. Here on my website, I let each of you in on the fishing secrets that have helped me transform a weekend hobby into a way of life.

Everything you find on this site is designed to make you a better fisherman.
