Double Musky

July 9, 2023July 7, 2023 by Jeff

Only minutes after getting home from a full day of fishing with Granny last night, friend Bob Butler called and simply said, “Have your raft ready. I’ll pick you up at 6. Muskies and smallies. Bye”. “Cool”, I thought out loud. Cool because today was a chance to break out our new Striker … Read more

A Full Day Hucking the 9-Weight

I’ve been fishing a lot but not too much. In fact, I’m fishing about what I expected to be fishing – at least once every three days if not more. It took a while to get to this point with all the house fixing stuff but I’m officially here. And the excitement of being surrounded … 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!
