Henry’s Fork Streak Continues

I arrived at Last Chance on the Henry’s Fork at 4 PM and before 4:30 I caught this awesome rainbow on a Pale Morning Dun.  It’s not easy to take a pic of a huge fish by yourself but you can see he was fantastic.  Thursday’s fish was on the board.  Then it was a Ranch Party filled night.

The parking lot party with a bunch of long time old friends.  Might I add, these long time Henry’s Fork anglers are of some of the finest dry fly fishers in the world!

After sunset I had the honor of kicking off the TroutHunter Ranch Party and introducing the band “Plum Tuckered Out”.  They played into the wee hours of the morning – and yes – I was there for all of it.

This morning came ridiculously early.  Nonetheless, I rallied some friends and after a great TroutHunter breakfast we were hiking into the Harriman Ranch on opening day before 8 AM.  I didn’t have my best game to offer the fish and only till noon to keep the streak going.  There were tons of smaller fish rising.  Finally at 11 I spotted this big boy rising and I got him to eat the same Pale Morning Dun that’s been working all week.  The streak continues!

Tonight I’m home doing some final packing for Baja and tuning up my presentation, “Fly Fishing Through Midlife Heaven” for Henry’s Fork Day tomorrow.  My show is at 2 PM which means if I can leave my house early in the morning I should get about 3 hours of fishing and a chance to complete my challenge of at least one big fish a day on the Henry’s Fork.

    Thanks Erik. Got my last fish this morning before my talk. Stoked! I will be out of contact starting in the AM but I’ll see you on the Fork next Monday night for the Marathon.

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!
