Home Sweet Home Waters

fly-fishingWe all love the sweet smell of home cooking.  But there’s one thing even better, a drift down one of your home waters after you’ve been gone a long time.  I didn’t move to Northern Wisconsin to travel constantly but I have been of late.  So some local fishing today with fishing buddy Bob Butler was awesome despite being a little slow for a cold day in October.

Unfortunately when the forest is quiet usually the underwater world is also.  We were hoping to coax in a musky or two but they were nowhere to be seen.  I landed the only two fish and both were frisky northern pike.  No blank!

 

I have a ridiculous amount of work to catch up on after my month in Canada.  As much as I’d love to fish every day this October there will be less days than last year.  And, I’m not sure whether I’m happy or sad, but I have a bunch more travels coming soon.  Ok, they’ll be good!

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!
