Saturday I sought refuge from the excessive heat by exploring a small stream with my friend Matt and Lulu. I’d fished this water before further down but hadn’t explored one of it’s smaller forks. In a last minute decision I grab my “new” Tenkarka rod; determined to give it a proper chance and see what […]
July has gone by with the blink of an eye. My updates here have been lacking, mostly due to long days guiding visiting anglers. Most of my trips have been floating the Snake, but I’ve also gone down to the Salt river, up into Yellowstone National Park and over to the Dubois fly fishing cabin. […]
Had some good days guiding on the Snake this past week. The water is at a good level, making side channels and riffles particularly fun. The best part of the week was working with some young fly fishers. Kids like Jack and Nick fished well above their age, proving sometimes middle schoolers fish better than […]
Another hot week has come and gone here in Western Wyoming. Summer has come on fast around here and fishable waters abound, many clear and fishing earlier than usual. We’ll see how things play out down the road, but for now it’s a great time to be a fly fisher in Jackson Hole. I spent […]
Around here fishing is getting better and better with each passing week. In addition to some time with clients over at the fishing cabin, I’ve spent the better part of the past week guiding in Yellowstone National Park. YNP is one of my favorite places to guide and fish. The variety of waters there is […]
June’s off to a hot start around here. After a mild spring so far, we’re seeing temperatures hit 80 degree here in Jackson. All of a sudden everything’s green; a pretty sight after months of white, tans and browns. It seems like this years runoff is a bit different; I feel like we had an […]
Over the past week or so I spent time guiding some great folks on a variety of fishy water. Longtime client Chris, came in and spent two days fishing/staying at the Teton Fly Fishing cabin. We focused our attention on some lakes, casting streamers and nymphs to nice rainbow trout from the drift boat. Springs […]
Got to take Joe on his first guided float fishing trip the other day. I debated where we’d fish prior to heading south, but after watching the level on the Green drop, I suggested we go see what’s happening. The water was in pretty good shape; off color, but by no means muddy. After helping […]
Jamie, Lulu and I got out for a few hours of fishing yesterday, taking advantage of some great spring weather here in Jackson Hole. We choose a small stream, not too far from home. Too celebrate the day, I broke out my Sweetgrass bamboo fly rod; a really great rod made by the guys up […]
Great to see (and feel) the warmer temperatures the past few days! Lulu and I are over at the Teton Fly Fishing cabin getting it ready for the upcoming season. LOTS of cleaning and random maintenance stuff on the agenda as well as finishing a few painting commissions. Lu gave me the look (and bark) […]
