A Cold Homecoming In Victor, Idaho

May 6, 2018 by Jeff

It wasn’t the most pleasant return home this week. Though the old car looks nice, after the World Championships in Spain I wanted to sit on my porch and soak up some sun, relax and heal some wounds. Instead we got 6” of snow and a high temperature of 35°. Luckily that’s moved on now and spring is here. Today I’ll be packing for St. Brandon’s Atoll and the “Hunt for Yellow Permit” will begin on Wednesday. Get ready for two weeks of what could be some top blogs. (See last year at St. Brandon’s starting here.)

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!
