Todd Corayer
Celebrating life on the water, pen in hand
Todd Corayer is a lifelong fisherman, hunter, and writer who lives not far from Rhode Island’s Saugatucket River with his lovely wife (who supports his fishing mainly to get him out of the house), teenage son (who regularly catches more fish than him), and favorite friend, Arlo T. Dog.
Todd has been writing, speaking about, advocating for, and videoing about fishing and hunting in Rhode Island and the New England area for over 25 years. His work has covered how to fish the south side of Block Island, fly fishing for Atlantic salmon in up-state Maine, where to find epic Fall freshwater fishing, how to not catch steelhead fish in upstate New York, smallmouth bass fishing on the Penobscot River, how much people from New Jersey drive him crazy and everything in between.
His work has appeared in The Double Gun Journal, On The Water Magazine, Great Lakes Angler, The Fisherman, The Bay Magazine, So Rhode Island, Sporting Classics Magazine, Coastal Angler, NY Lifestyles, Trout Magazine, The Island Crier, and very often in the wonderful RISAA Magazine.
He writes a weekly column for the Southern RI Newspapers called – wait for it – Fish Wrap – which can be found throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
Todd is available for gear or product reviews, destination stories (please), and for all things fishing and hunting.
