This will be one of the shortest blogs ever as I’m a little pressed for time. I floated the South Fork today. It’s possible this was the last time this year but hopefully I’ll get out in December. As usual the fish were all over the streamers. Here are a few pics from the day. … Read more

Changes

by

An eye catching trend has occurred in my life. In 2009 I fished 14 days in November. Six of were in Baja. Last year in November I fished eight days. Five were in Africa. But as of today I have only four days fishing in November. Luckily I’ll raise it to five tomorrow but I … Read more

No Other Boats & No Ice in the Guides

by

It’s a special time of year. I’m not quite tired of the snow. I’m not yet sick of the sun not rising until 8 AM. So far I can even handle darkness at 5 PM. Temps aren’t too cold and because it’s mid November, and I enjoy the fact that trout have normally crowded rivers … Read more

Gigantic Brown Trout!

Dougy promised me that this is the time when you have a chance at some really big brown trout. He wasn’t kidding! Unfortunately I opted out on Dougy’s offer. I’m more focused on my … Read more

South Fork

Frrrrrrreeeezing!

by

When you can hardly handle the cold in your own house, that’s usually a good indication it’s too damn chilly to go fishing. You should just quit being cheap, put the heat on and stay home. But my friends Rob Parkins, Weldon Jones and Neil Chamberlin and I are idiots. We went anyhow. Why? Why … Read more

End of the Yellowstone Fishing Season

by

November 3, 2011 Yellowstone National Park officially closes its gates the first Sunday in November. Some years the first snow causes this closure to occur earlier but this year we’ve been lucky. Today Weldon Jones (my Bass on the Fly partner) and I headed up to Lewis Lake to say goodbye to another great year … Read more
