Yellow Dog Flyfishing Community and Conservation Foundation

blog-oct-7-2016-1-ydccfMost of you know I work with Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures as a trip host, travel advisor and I often get to explore future fly fishing destinations.  I couldn’t ask for a better fly fishing travel company to be a part of.   It’s not only because they offer the best destinations but also because Yellow Dog takes measures to protect the world’s incredible fisheries.

 

blog-oct-7-2016-2-yellow-dog-flyfishingThis week Yellow Dog founded the Yellow Dog Community and Conservation Foundation (YDCCF).  This is something that has been in the works for many years and we are thrilled that the Foundation is now a reality.  The simple idea of the new Foundation will allow us to effectively donate hundreds of thousands of dollars into projects, communities, conservation work, enforcement, education and more in so many of these remote and rural areas directly connected to fishing.

People will pay the same but can feel good knowing that a portion of the money they’ve spent will go towards protecting, improving and enhancing fisheries.

 

Now I have one more reason to be a proud part of the Yellow Dog Team and our customers have even MORE of a reason to book with Yellow Dog!

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!
