As we close out July, the fishing around here is red hot. I’ve been busy taking folks fishing on a variety of waters around here in Wyoming. Both the Green and Snake rivers are providing folks with good fishing; smaller waters are also great too. We’ve caught some really nice brown trout down on the […]
As some of you know, I have a soft spot for small wild trout streams. The other day I had the pleasure of introducing Ross and his son George to one of my favorites. Streams like this are never featured in magazines or on “current fishing condition” boards at the local shops. They are however […]
After taking some great folks fishing up in Yellowstone last week, including a fun return client from Texas, AND providing my brother and his lovely wife a luxurious comfortable futon for a few days, I found myself with two free days and a desire to check on a favorite native cutthroat stream of mine. Jamie […]
It was a good week of fishing around here in Jackson Hole. Several wade fishing trips proved successful despite some colder weather. I had the pleasure of taking Kevin C. from Chicago up to Yellowstone National Park Thursday and introducing him to the Firehole River. Water clarity and levels are ideal up there and we […]

Had the Pleasure of fishing some folks from neighboring CO this past weekend. Richard and his wife were treated to some great Wyoming lake fly fishing, catching rainbow and brown trout on various leech patterns. It was great to get the drift boat out and spend all day floating on clear water in warm sunshine! […]
Many know that Lake trout are predatory, feeding on smaller fish as well as many other things. My unscientific study confirmed this the other day when I cleaned a Laker for dinner. It seems this time of year smaller fish and leeches make up a good portion of their diet. So for all of you […]
Every spring, as area rivers turn brown with runoff, anglers turn their attention to the many lakes around here in western Wyoming. As soon as ice comes off and waters shimmer with hues of turquoise and cobalt, lake trout become a viable fly rod option. Ice off… Time to target Lake trout at Leek’s Marina […]
Had the pleasure of fishing with long time friend, Kurt, the past couple days. After a long hiatus, Kurt managed to sneak out for a long weekend. We divided time between the Dubois area and Jackson. While many area waters are blown out due to spring runoff, we had a few tricks up our sleeve. […]
Last night, fisheries biologists from Yellowstone National Park and members of Wyoming Trout Unlimited gave a great presentation on the Parks ongoing efforts to save and restore native cutthroat trout populations. As some of you know, the park has been waging an aggressive campaign to save the Yellowstone lake cutthroat by killing invasive Lake Trout. […]
