This past week I had the pleasure of hosting Andrew and Brian, friends from TX, for a few days of fishing at my cabin in Dubois, Wyoming. Andrew’s been out here before, experiencing some great fly fishing on the Snake. This time, he was interested in more remote waters and brought his friend Brian along. […]
The past week proved to be a great week of fishing for some adventurous clients of mine. We fished some great remote rainbow waters, catching fish from the boat and also on foot. Nymphs and streamer were the name of the game; leeches working in the lake, while princes and pheasant tails dead drifted fooled […]
It pays to have friends in nice places. This past weekend, Jamie, Sage and I headed south to visit our good friends Brandon and Rachelle in Clark, CO. Naturally, fishing was on the agenda, but the real reason for the journey was to catch up with old friends and meet the newest member of their […]
The last week brought beautiful spring days to the Tetons. This weather kicked the spring runoff into full gear, trashing area waters and putting fly fishing the Snake and its tributaries on hold for a few weeks. Because it’s been so sunny and warm, I’m thinking rivers will clear and start fishing earlier than first […]
As of today, many area rivers are rising and turning brown thanks in large part to sunny skies and temperatures pushing into the high 60s. While this puts some stretches of water on hold for the next month or so, it also gives area lakes top billing for the foreseeable future. Jackson Lake’s shores are […]
Sometimes investigating is need. Such was the case yesterday when my friend Matt and I donned Gore-Tex and Wool and ventured into a bolder-strun piece of local pocket water. Fishing my usual haunts on the Snake recently has been fun and productive; lots of eager cutthroat and mountain whitefish taking dries and nymphs. However, we […]
Some of you may have already seen this, but for those who aren’t on my email list, here’s is a copy of the spring 2013 newsletter I sent out last week.: A big springtime hello from Jackson Hole! If you’re as excited as I am for the upcoming fishing season, this newsletter’s for you. Little […]
Landing fish like this, it’s no wonder Jamie out-fished me!
Every fishing season I keep a rough record of fly patterns I use most, hoping to remind myself to make sure I have a surplus for the next year. I’d say I have 15 or so patterns that I rely on pretty heavily, with one in particular, the Sparkle Dun, being my hands-down favorite for […]
Spring is coming to Wyoming a bit earlier this year. Recent temperatures have been getting into the high 40s, helping to melt the snow and ice in the backyard and turn our attention toward fishing. Jamie and I spent a few days last week soaking up the sun in Bisbee, AZ; celebrating my uncle’s retirement […]
