Good folks and fishing

Fishing continues to keep me busy around here. I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with some great folks over the past few weeks; both return clients who have become friends, and new folks that I hope will come back. Below are a few snapshots from our adventures…. One of the nice local trout that was […]

August fishing

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been spending nearly every day out on the water with some great folks and haven’t found the time or the energy for typing; my apologies. We’ve been having some fun dry fly fishing on the Snake lately. Clients have fished everything from Royal Wulffs to tiny […]

Dry Flies and some exploring

The dry fly fishing on the Snake has been great lately! It’s nice to see the river in such good shape; clear, ample fish holding channels and riffles and lots of bugs. Each day I’ve been having clients fish a variety of different flies to the local trout. I’d say PMDs, Yellow stoneflies and parachute […]

Hot Fishing

Fishing around Jackson has come into its own lately. Just about every river and stream is fishing great right now, with clear water and eager fish. I’ve been out with folks, fishing numerous places. The Green continues to fish well with grey drakes and yellow sallies. Mornings are best, but fish have been rising throughout […]

Heating up

Well there is no doubt that summer has arrived. Temperatures this week in Jackson have been pushing 90 with LOTS of sunshine. I’ve been spending a lot of days down on the Green river, introducing folks to the brown and rainbow trout that reside there. We been fooling fish with dries (yellow sallies, stoneflies, big […]

Browns, Rainbows and Blue Sky

Things have been busy around here with fishing trips and bookings keeping me on my toes. Local waters continue to look better and better each day as the last of the winter snow melts. Although water levels are fluctuating a bit, the Green has been treating us well, with clients having fun and hooking fish. […]

nymphs get it done today

I had the pleasure today of taking Drew from South Carolina fishing. It was his first time handling a fly rod on a western trout stream and he did a great job! As some of you may know, nymphing without an indicator ain’t easy. It takes patience and concentration to get a good drift and […]

Tuesday’s fishing

I was reminded yesterday of what my grandfather imparted on me from the time I can remember, “trout live in the most beautiful places”. These words couldn’t have been more true as I fished a secluded mountain stream with my friend Matt. We ended up catching most of our trout (cutthroat and brook trout) on […]

Jumping ‘Bows

Yesterday was a great day for all of us. Jon and Jashelle joined me for a fun day of fishing on the Green river. We knew that conditions can vary this time year, but headed south in hopes that the steady river flows would hold for us. It wasn’t until we crossed the Warren Bridge […]

Hiking with a side of fishing and bears…

As we approach the end of May I’m beginning to get excited for the upcoming fishing season. The runoff appears to be in full swing around here and I suspect that fishing will be good in another few weeks. I’ve spent some time hiking with Jamie lately. Now, as some of you might know, I’m […]
