Mike Lodge and I met in Mexico several year ago fishing out of Casa Blanca. I’m always up in the wee hours to work on my blog and turns out he doesn’t sleep either. We chatted over early morning coffee that week and every time I mentioned the Seychelles he lit up like a Christmas … Read more

Today I fished with guest Dave Meyers and guide Brandon Poole. Dave is a friend from back in Idaho. Dave invited me to fish on his Jackson Hole One Fly Team in 2019. We thought we’d be fishing in the One Fly together for years but the Covid thing messed it all up. This trip … Read more

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!
