Moose Alert on the Might Sveum River

by | Sep 20, 2013 | Uncategorized | 1 comment

It’s not often that I don’t set up a rod on a float trip.  Okay, this was the first time ever but my folks didn’t even want to go for a float at first.  But it was such an incredibly nice day they finally stepped up as long as it was less than four hours.  In order to meet the time frame I had to row hard downstream most of the float.  Pushing makes some noise and we awoke some resting wildlife.

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!
