He has written for various newspapers and periodicals including The Wall Street Journal and Fly Fisherman Magazine. He currently is contributing editor to Angling Trade Magazine and column writer for Southwest, Eastern and Northwest Fly Fishing Magazines.

Mike Kruise was born and raised in Longmont, CO where he lives today with his wife Vickie, and owns Laughing Grizzly Fly Shop. Mike learned hunt and fly fish from his father, but perfected his fly fishing skills with his friend Scott Bley as they cut their teeth on the Big Thompson, Poudre, and St. Vrain. Mike has been professionally guiding and offering instruction since 2007, and recently co-athored the book A Fly Fishing Guide to Colorado’s Indian Peaks Wilderness Area with Steve Schweitzer. When not in the shop or on a local stream, you will find Mike hosting fishing trips to Chile, Mexico, the Bahamas, Belize, Alaska, Canada, and other amazing trout destinations.
