After spending a week in Florida, I’m back home in Jackson Hole. Overall it was a fun trip. We met up with friends, Kurt and Kelly and their 3 year old son at the Tampa airport and then headed west to Anna Maria Island on the Gulf side. While this was more of a “family” […]
We had some nice weather here in Jackson Hole this past weekend. Naturally the best course of action was to go fishing. Saturday, Jamie, Lulu and I headed south to fish the Snake river canyon. This was partly to get Jamie on her first fish of the year, but also to do some dog training. […]
Despite battling a nasty cold, I sucked it up and got out fishing Sunday with my friend Matt. We headed south, choosing to fish the Snake in the canyon, hoping to have water to ourselves. After a little snowshoeing we got on the water; I opted to nymph fish while Matt threw streamers. Both tactics […]
Funny things happened this week. I opted for two things I swore I never would do…. Number one: Me and the lady are headed to Florida in a few weeks for some R & R and fishing. I’ll be honest, I never really had any interest in Florida. Always figured if I made it that […]
Spent the past week painting, teaching and tying/ organizing some flies. The good news is that I finished and shipped a series of cutthroat paintings to a client of mine. I think the four cutthroat watercolors will look nice framed and matted in their new home. Now it’s onto the next project, another commission that, […]
Ran over to the Teton Fly Fishing cabin in Dubois last week to spend a few days working on some paintings and other odds and ends. Lulu joined me and we had some fun roaming the river bottom and finding tennis balls in the Sage brush. I was particularly excited to organize and add a […]
I spent the better part of this past week fishing clients on the Snake river. For the most part the weather was great; sunny and temperatures in the 40s. We found some nice cutthroat trout feeding on midges in many side channels and back eddies. Jason, hailing from TN got to enjoy some great dry […]
It doesn’t happen often, if ever. My fly tying bench is a collection of materials, flies, and coffee stains. I try to keep it fairly organized, but seldom give it a full on cleaning. With the arrival of new fly tying materials the other night, I decided it was time to do some spring cleaning. […]
Things here at the Teton Fly Fishing world headquarters have been slow. I’ve been laying low, sliding through February in usual fashion. Overall the past couple weeks have been good. Temperatures have been a little warmer and days are getting noticeably longer. Matt and I took advantage of 60 degree temperatures in Thermopolis two weeks […]
Well, the 2016 Teton Fly Fishing guiding season is underway. This past week I took two eager anglers from upstate New York fly fishing on the Snake. Tyler and Carlos were in town on a ski trip and wanted to do a little fishing. After breaking trail for a bit and getting our blood pumping, […]
