My dad has suffered with Parkinson’s for over 15 years. This horrible disease worsens with time and the medicines that help with the symptoms have side effects beyond belief. They can make you tired, depressed, confused and the list goes on. It’s been a bummer for...

I heard the first bird chirp and sat up in my sleeping bag on the camps porch and looked out across the lake and Wolfeboro Bay. The sight was stunning with amazing pink skies and absolutely no wind. It was a mere 4:10 AM but things were perfect to start fishing....

Granny and I have another lake near Wolfeboro, NH we like to fish that has some pretty dang nice largemouth bass. We must load the canoe in my dad’s old pick up to fish here. Unfortunately, the truck won’t start without being jumped. I jumped it at mom’s house then...

I sleep out on the porch at the cottage and have since I was a kid. There’s some great sounds such as the loons at night and the song birds in the wee hours of the morning. At 2 AM this morning however the sound was of rain. We had heavy rain and wind...

When I promised the blog was about to spice up after my last speaking gig of the winter season back in late March, I was serious. Since April 5th I’ve been home a mere seven days and traveling and fishing the rest. After Baja Granny and I spent two days home then I...

The last day of Baja 2017 (unless I return in Dec) was a full one but a bust. The wind cranked in our face all day from the beach and we saw one roosterfish and no jacks. Granny will have to come back for her first roosterfish. In general, major fish were slim...

Gary Bulla Baja trips start early. Granny and I are visiting Gary while he has a group of 12 clients. He bases out of Baja Joes Hotel and his staff had coffee and breakfast on the table at 6 AM. After breakfast Granny and I drove with Gary and his group to...

I have some great friends that either live in Baja or spend much time in Baja. Granny and I are trying to keep things interesting and not fish the same area twice. I dropped a random email to my friend Gary Bulla who is often in Baja hosting fishing clients, hoping...

Boy ever did we chill today. Those three days camping in a sandstorm hurt us. Sammy’s condo on the Pacific side of Baja rocks the house. Granny spent most of her day sunning at the infinity pool with occasional dips. For lunch we hit the Todos Santos...

Roosterfish are unique. While most families of saltwater fish are found throughout the world, roosters are only found on the tropical waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean. That range is from Baja Mexico south to Peru. Baja, Costa Rica and Panama are the leading...

Granny and I woke up at our beautiful campsite on a remote Baja beach with high hopes of her landing a roosterfish today. Maybe even a big one. But as we finished off breakfast during sunrise the wind started. And this wind would be more serious than yesterdays. There...

I’m not sure how many times in a row weather on fishing trips can go wrong but I guess there’s no limit when your nickname is “Monsoon”. Granny and I came to the East Cape of Baja yesterday to escape the cold and clouds of the Pacific side but unfortunately those...

We headed out for three nights of fishing and camping today but we relaxed at Sammy’s condo in the morning and left around noon. It was a matter of taking the time to be properly organized for camping on the beach. Also, we suffered through an 18 inning Cubs loss...

We probably should’ve suspected a rough day of fishing. Last night around dinner time it got cold here on the Pacific side of Baja. Like in the 50°s cold! Then this morning we woke up to the same and dense fog and clouds. Didn’t matter though, we packed up the car...
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!
