blog-June-16-2016-1-flyfishing-irelandThe one thing you get better at as you get older is putting the bad behind you and moving forward.  Yesterday’s terrible afternoon session for Team USA had me down last night but today I woke up and started preparing for the last two sessions for tomorrow.  I’m ready to go and have plans to not only avoid the blanks but also a goal to score no less than 3rd place in both sessions.  That would be huge for our team!

 

blog-June-16-2016-2-cliffs-of-moher-irelandFishing in the World Masters Flyfishing Championships includes a tour to the Burren region.  At 10 AM our Team headed on a bus tour with all the other teams to see some castles, hike and see the Cliffs of Moher.  It was a relaxing day and the Cliffs were one of more marvelous views I’ve ever set eyes on.

It’s early to bed tonight and game on manana!

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!
