Good Times But Bad Fishing on the Bad

June 12, 2023June 9, 2023 by Jeff

I’m lucky I’m still friends with many of my college buddies. We all met in 1983 studying in Wisconsin at Northland College and managed to stay in touch all these years. About eight of us are like brothers. Today Howie, Mike Neuman and Mark Reiser met up for the first time in a while and … Read more

Big Wind on the Columbia

Granny and I began our trip back east today. But not far for a few days. We went back to White Salmon, WA and Mike and I hit the Columbia River for walleyes for a couple hours. We got skunked. The wind and rain was far too difficult for me to keep my flies on … Read more

Lakes Beyond Lakes

June 2, 2010 Our cabin is very simple and located on a scenic little beach on the north end of Pagato Lake. We have a porch that overlooks the water and that’s where I sucked down a cup of coffee while going over my gear listening to loons between 6 and 7 am. It was … Read more

Frozen Gorgeousness

Entries have been far and few between this winter. It seems 2010 has been no fishing and all work. It’s been show after show and in between them, art projects and updating of PowerPoint demonstrations for the next weekend of presenting. But this last weekend, a trip to Texas to give a two day seminar … 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!
