I flew to Jackson Hole, Wyoming yesterday. For anyone new to this blog in the last four years, I’ll let you know I lived in the Jackson area from 1987 until 2021. I’ve spent most of my life in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. No doubt, it felt good to get off the plane and look … Read more

I got home late last night after a lovely day fishing with the Bruun’s but it didn’t stop me from getting up early this morning for Granny’s and my jaunt to Yellowstone Park. The forecast for our weekend is unreal with temperatures in the 50°s and clear skies. We caught the sunrise over the backside … Read more

A Trip to the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone

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!
