Indian Summer on Maddon Creek

October 2, 2015September 23, 2015 by Jeff

I spent a beautiful day rowing Maddon Creek today with friends Ken Holder and Nati. Ken built my first website fifteen years ago and maintained it as a favor for ten years. But Ken has a real job and when my site got larger than he ever imagined a fishing bum could possibly need he called … Read more

Teaching Veterans to Fly Fish 2015

September 22, 2015September 21, 2015 by Jeff

Just like last Monday I taught war veterans how to fly fish out at Teton Pines. Today was for the men and they too will be fishing on the Snake River later this week. It was a spectacular September day without a cloud in the sky. The veterans are always incredibly enjoyable to be with … Read more

Kubswin in September!

September 19, 2015September 18, 2015 by Jeff

Since teaching fly fishing to veterans on Monday the Yellowstone Country has been doused with needed snow and rain. My lawn is as green as it was in June and the leaves are changing. When we got to Kubswin Lake today there were tiny remnants of snow on the ground. Word has it that yesterday there … Read more

Too Nice for Carp

September 13, 2015September 11, 2015 by Jeff

It wasn’t worth speeding and fishtailing treacherously down the dusty roads of Idaho like it was our first time fly fishing for huge carp. Today’s Blackfoot Reservoir trip wasn’t only my most humbling carp day ever but also the most strenuous hiking and fishing day of the year. That’s saying a lot after Tuesday. … Read more

Soaking up the Last of Summer Fishing

September 10, 2015September 9, 2015 by Jeff

September 8-9, 2015 The drastic slam-dunk of fall weather that hit me while up in Montana this past weekend put a fire under me to get out fishing and camping. The last camping Granny did was with my nieces and her last cast was over a month ago in Labrador. Monday night as the Cubs … Read more

Ennis on the Madison River Fly Fishing Festival

September 7, 2015September 5, 2015 by Jeff

September 4-5, 2015 Four months ago I was contacted by the Madison River Foundation about presenting “Four Seasons of the Yellowstone Trout Bum” for ‘Ennis on the Madison’ Fly Fishing Festival held annually in Ennis, Montana. I’m home for a change with a break between events. I considered saving the time for fishing but this is … Read more

Contact Jeff

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!
