Some good days winter fly fishing

We’ve been experiencing some warm days here in Jackson Hole lately and I’ve been out on the water guiding some anglers. While fishing hasn’t been exactly easy, it’s been pretty decent, with folks learning how to fly fish and finding a few cutthroat and whitefish in the process. Nothing is cooler than helping folks ease […]

Escape to the land of Bonefish

I recently returned from a little over two weeks fishing in the Bahamas. Had a great time and got to fish with some really good friends. I joined longtime fishing clients and friends, Chris and Mark for our annual Bahamas bonefish extravaganza. This is always such a great time filled with good fishing, food, drinks […]

Winter Fly Fishing is Beginning

Just completed the first proper winter fly fishing trip of the season. I had the pleasure of taking Ray out while he and his wife visited Jackson this past week. We managed to get a couple hours in on the water before a much needed snow storm swept into the region. As we fished, winds […]

That’s a wrap

It’s mid November here in Jackson Hole and another busy fishing season has come to an end. I put the drift boat away for the winter and did a couple afternoon wade fishing trips. Now I find myself back in the classroom, substitute teaching, while also getting back into creating art. Jamie and I spent […]

Summer fishing

I’ve been busy guiding folks and finally have a day off so i thought I’d do a quick fishing blog post on what I’ve been up to around here in Jackson Hole. The summer has been going by quickly (can’t believe it’s just about August)! Our waters in Jackson are fishing pretty well. Tributaries this […]

Days in Yellowstone

Last week Yellowstone Park opened for yet another fishing season. I’ve been up on the Firehole with guests having fun with its resident Brown and Rainbow trout. Days have been really nice- sunny, warm and hence the mayfly hatches haven’t been super heavy (usually cloudy weather gets the PMDs and BWOs really pouring off). Regardless, […]

Fishing news, spring update, etc

It’s April’s and the fly fishing here in Jackson Hole is really good. After a winter of cold temperatures and nymph fishing, I’m happy to report that our native cutthroat trout are feeding voraciously on the surface. Anglers will see pods of fish sipping emerging midges and small black stoneflies. Additionally with warmer temperatures forecasted, […]

Bahamas sketchbook journal

Here’s a look at some of the sketchbook art I made while on our trip. I’ve begun trying to be better at keeping an art journal of trips I go on. It’s a great way to remember things and capture the trip. Sometimes while trout fishing I’ll carry a small sketchbook and watercolor kit in […]

Bahamas, round 1

Was able to get back to the Bahamas for a week of fishing with long time clients, Chris and Mark. It was a great week with fishing, good food and drink and fine company. As usual, we did a mix of guided boat trips and DIY wade fishing. The weather was fantastic and we caught […]
