The word on the street is that things down around Pinedale, WY are starting to improve. The rivers are still high; however clear enough to catch some fish. Today I joined Tom Montgomery and John Simms for a float. You’ve met Tom Montgomery on this blog several times. He’s a longtime fishing guide and fantastic … Read more
Hard to believe I haven’t posted a fishing day since last Monday. But, I got very, very, very busy with art and other things and they have kept me off the water. I was supposed to fish on Friday. Pete Erickson and I were headed for Boulder Lake in Pinedale, Wyoming. However, Pete got booked … Read more
I wasn’t planning to head back to the Ranch of the Henry’s Fork for awhile after a month of hardcore fishing there in June. That was before friends Keifer and Norm Thomas of Tennessee rolled into town and asked me to show them around up there. I’ve known Norm for over 20 years. He was … Read more
There was a time where if I got schooled on a certain lake or any fishery for that matter, I probably wouldn’t go back again for a long, long time. But those days have since passed. Now, typically if I get skunked somewhere, I go back quickly to turn things around. I want to learn … Read more

We experienced some very hot weather the last few days and the snow is a melting! It’s so hot we have cicadas attacking my lawn mower! They don’t do so well either. We had high water all of June but the last two days we are seeing some torrent flows on even the smallest of … Read more
I probably popped off a couple times over the years on my blog that I’ve never been skunked on Island Park Reservoir. It’s a tough lake and worth a brag or two if you always catch at least a fish. But today that perfect record came to an end. Look back exactly a week and … Read more
The month that starts cold, rainy and sometimes snowy but ends with summer is nearly in the books. I’m sad it’s over because it’s the month of the Henry’s Fork, my favorite river. Sure I could keep fishing the Henry’s all season and indeed I’ll get back several times, but June is the best. June … Read more

We competed against each other in pool tournaments, then he guided out of the fly shop I managed and we even have a mutual friend that … Read more
Today my favorite tradition lived on, I did my annual Marathon. The “Marathon” is my way of celebrating the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. I’ve been doing it for 25 years. We’re not talking running 26 miles. I could never do that. Basically my Marathon is that I utilize every minute of … Read more
Happy Fathers Day everyone! I should have posted this last week because these Cliff Fly Boxes with my art on them make great gifts. For years I have drawn fish on them with sharpies and charged $25. Well, that price is now $35 due to recent demand. More importantly, I have recently done some scenes … Read more
June 15 For Granny and I, opening day on the Harriman Ranch of the Henry’s Fork isn’t just about the fishing. We especially like seeing old friends. Our hardcore fishing will come next week when the opener crowds shrink and the fishing gets better. We arrived at the Last Chance parking lot at the upper … Read more
