Its amazing what a good night’s rest will do after being completely exhausted. I awoke this morning feeling sharp and after coffee with the FlyCastaway team we drove about an hour from our cabin here in Lesotho to a river they fish twice a year. Once again, despite...

I flew to Paris shortly after I posted yesterday’s blog. It was a short hop from Amsterdam of only 45 minutes. In Paris I learned that my upgrade to First Class was a serious deal. First of all, there’s a difference on long international flights between Business...

Every angler has a vice beyond their fishing and mine is baseball. I grew up as a second baseman and a Red Sox fan during the Carl Yastrzemski era but when I went to college in Wisconsin in 1983, Ryne Sanberg’s rookie year, I got hooked on the Chicago Cubs. I never...

I leapt from bed early this morning here in Encinitas, California. Granny and I were eager to get to the Torrey Pines State Beach. She wanted to do a run while I was aiming to once and for all catch my elusive corbina on the fly. When we got there at 10 AM the tide...

Granny I arrived in California last night by car to begin a ten-day speaking tour. It was a great 15-hour drive listening to playoff baseball on my XM all the way from home. Cubs pitcher, Jake Arrieta, hit his amazing three run homer just as the sun was setting for...

Most of you know I work with Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures as a trip host, travel advisor and I often get to explore future fly fishing destinations. I couldn’t ask for a better fly fishing travel company to be a part of. It’s not only because they offer the...

Two months ago I made plans with friends Joe Koehly of Yeti and Peter Vandergrift of Costa Sunglasses to go bang up the carp of Blackfoot Reservoir today. You need good weather to fly fish for carp and naturally our annual equinox storm made a direct hit delivering...
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!
