PA, here I come
Next week I’ll get to try my luck on Spring Creek, one of Pennsylvania’s legendary trout waters. Joining me (and guiding me to glory) will be my friend Kurt, a guy I’ve grown up with and spent A LOT of time on the water with. Usually it’s me pointing out fish for him, so it’ll […]
Still A LOT of snow up there
It’s the end of May, but you’d never know it here in Jackson Hole. We’ve had an incredibly cold, wet spring this year. In fact, just this week snow was falling and more is on the way, with another storm system predicted to hit Western Wyoming Sunday night. The snow pack stands at 237% of […]
Fishing, just in case..
While the world (or at least a few crazies) waited with bated breath for the impending Rapture, Sage and I and went fishing….I mean if the world’s going to end, we might as well get one more day of fly fishing in. We settled on a piece of lesser-known water that I suspected would be […]
Fly rods and Individuals
I recently accompanied a friend to the local fly shop. I was along to aid in his quest for a new fly rod, and while the visit was about helping him, I selfishly was excited to cast some rods myself; comparing tapers and actions from brands that I never have judged face to face before. […]
Snowmelt…
Normally I am not one to participate in the yearly snowpack/ runoff speculation. I shy away from discussions, refusing to theorize, reasoning that an act of nature that happens EVERY year doesn’t warrant conjecture from a bearded fisherman; it’s going to happen. Oblivious to people’s predictions and anticipations, the snow melts, rivers rise, rivers clear […]
A brown trout and a brown bear
Saturday’s fishing adventure up north didn’t offer much in the way of fish; one scrappy little brown trout fell for a nymph, but aside from that, the only thing we got was wet. We did learn that the resident grizzly bears are up and active….
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker. That’s the name I’ve given to Albula vulpes, commonly known as the Bonefish. I came to this name while strolling the sunburned flats, having been rejected yet again by a shadow whose only prominent feature I could make out was a small middle finger pointed in my direction as its owner headed away from […]
A pirate’s life for me..
I’ve returned to the cold mountains of Wyoming, after doing my best to live like a pirate for the past two weeks; consulting a hand-written tide chart daily, consuming copious amounts of rum, neglecting to wear shoes and combing pink sand beaches in search of treasure. A man could get used to this sort of […]
Shameless video from fishing in Dubois
Brad, owner of the WD Fly Shop in Dubois, WY was kind enough to include me in a brief video he made recently. Brad joined Leon and I a few weeks back for a day of fishing on the Wind River. While he spent most of the time taking photos, he did manage to step […]
