casting flies as much as possible

Spent the past few weeks trying to get in as much fishing and outdoor time as possible. Normally November brings some pretty lousy weather (like we’re having today here in Jackson Hole), however the majority of days lately have been nice; sunny, kinda warm and ideal for late season fly fishing. I managed to hook […]

Haunted…

Like Norman in A River Runs Through It, I too am “haunted by waters”. More specifically, waters with large Brown trout in them. What can I say; it’s just that time of year. Most Americans associate October with pumpkins, falling leaves, ghouls and goblins and shortening days. Me and other fly fisherman here in the […]

BWOs and rising trout

The past couple days here in Jackson have been a blast. Fishing and weather have conspired to offer up some of the best fishing of the year around the valley. After a summer of higher than normal flows (thank you Idaho), the Snake River is down at winter flow levels. The result is that trout […]

October

When October arrives, with it comes the transition to winter. Lately here in Jackson Hole, the weather has varied considerably, with snow and fast-moving early season storms making frequent appearances. Animals are doing their best to put on the pounds for the upcoming winter. Trout do this too, sipping Blue Winged Olives and the odd […]

A little bit of remote cutthroat country..

Fall’s here in Jackson and the fishing is strong. Clients and I have managed to escape the crowds here and fish some remote waters around Dubois on several overnight trips. Aside from a little dirty water due to strong thunderstorms one day, folks have had a blast getting away and catching some wild trout. Hoppers, […]

Notable fish from the past few weeks…

Lots of fishing’s been going on around here lately, hence the lack of blog posts. Days have been long, starting early with coffee and some quick flies being tied for the upcoming day, continuing to time on the water with clients and finishing with preparations being made for the next day. Rest will come this […]

Different waters, different fish..

I’ve been fortunate to fish some great folks on several different waters over the past couple weeks. For those looking for a challenge and the potential for a big catch, the upper Green has been hard to beat. We’ve hit the road early, ensuring that we get fishing before the heat of the day slows […]

July’s heating up

The past week offered up some great fishing around here in Jackson Hole despite the near record-breaking heat. Additionally, Forth of July festivities brought TONS of folks to Jackson, eager to fish, raft, hike and enjoy the great concert and fireworks display. Lately I’ve been spending a fair amount of time fishing clients on the […]
