The Yellow Dog Flyfishing Ambassador Summit continued today with our last fishing day with H2O Bonefishing at Pelican Bay Resort (we fish tomorrow with East End Lodge). It’s been a stellar time. Not only has it been fun hanging with my fellow ambassadors and Yellow...

Few ever think about a saltwater flats fly fishing trip during summer months. I never used to. It’s simply not popular because we love our own summer weather and fishing. But I’ve learned over the years that summer is truly the best and most reliable flats fishing...

I apologize for the serious delay in posts this week but in the days to come you will soon learn why! I love the 4th of July and yesterday was long and memorable one starting with the Victor parade. After the parade was a day of live music at the Knotty Pine then an...

I took the boat out today for the first time this year to treat some longtime friends of mine, Mark and Linda, to a day on the Rizzo River for some big cutthroats. I met Mark and Linda when speaking in Albuquerque about ten years ago and they have since joined me on...

The blog shouldn’t go dead in summertime but I fish in bursts and I work in bursts. Since my Henry’s Fork Marathon I’ve been glued to my artwork catching up on several big projects. This giant trevally Sharpie art will be used on the new FlyCastaway Seychelles...

The longest day of the year shouldn’t be wasted. A great way to spend it is fishing. For more than 25 years I’ve managed to spend it walking more than 12 miles over a 14 hour period through the planets most fabled and beautiful dry fly water, the Railroad Ranch...

Being home for a change is the greatest thing in the world. For me it’s like vacation from vacations. And best of all its Henry’s Fork time and the best dry fly fishing of the year. It’s also when I spend time with some of my longtime friends. Many of my...

It was already a hot day at 5:30 AM when the alarm went off. That’s perfect because it was time to turn up the heat. Team USA was in 3rd place with three teams tight on our tail. One blank, bad score or bad luck could move us out of medal contention. This was an...

Day 1 of the World Masters Fly Fishing Championships here in Covilha, Portugal yanked me and my teammates out of bed at 5:30 AM this morning. It was official competition time and Mike and I each had two lake beats and Jay and Scott were headed to the Zezere River. All...
I started fly fishing at age 7 in the lakes and ponds of New England cutting my teeth on various sunfish, bass, crappie and stocked trout. I went to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where I graduated with a Naturalist Degree while I discovered new fishing opportunities for pike, muskellunge, walleyes and various salmonids found in Lake Superior and its tributaries.
From there I headed west to work a few years in the Yellowstone region to simply work as much as most people fish and fish as much as most people work. I did just that, only it lasted over 20 years working at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where I departed in 2009. Now it’s time to work for "The Man", working for myself that is.
I pursue my love to paint fish, lecture on every aspect of fly fishing you can imagine and host a few trips to some of the most exotic places you can think of. My ultimate goal is to catch as many species of fish on fly possible from freshwater to saltwater, throughout the world. I presently have taken over 440 species from over 60 countries!
