Seeing as the thermometer said 33 degrees outside, I couldn’t resist wetting a line. Taking down the christmas lights could wait! I headed to the Snake to scout some side channels. I walked, no trudged up river, following one braid after another hoping to find a pod of cutthroat trout sipping on midges. Unfortunately my […]
At last, I got back in the saddle and waved around the long rod. It’s been a while since I fished. Much of this had to do with the below zero temperatures we had for a few weeks in Jackson Hole. Add to it the holiday season and some various teaching gigs, and I went […]
Well, Christmas has come and gone and we’re close to welcoming a new year with new fishing possibilities. I’m sorry to report that I haven’t done any fishing. We’ve been dealing with some seriously cold temps here in the Hole; minus 20 has been the norm lately and daytime highs haven’t been high at all. […]
Lulu and I are spending some time at the Teton Fly Fishing cabin while Jamie’s out of town. Overall it’s been cold and wintery so fishing hasn’t happened. I think I’ve gotten to a point where sometimes it’s better to just lay low rather than prove something by fishing when it’s too cold. It’s not […]
It’s been cold here in Jackson Hole lately. Temperatures have fallen below zero at night and daytime highs have struggled to get out of the teens. Looks like that’s gonna change in the next few days though and I’m hoping to get out on some water and wet a line. I haven’t done any fishing […]
Taking advantage of a break in the weather, Lulu and I jumped in the truck and headed to the Teton Fly Fishing cabin. The plan was to stack firewood and fish. My friend Nick came over and despite a night of good food and beverages, we rallied, getting up early, attaching the drift boat and […]
Over the past week or so winter’s arrived in Jackson Hole. We had are first snow of the season in town and off season is in full swing. I’ve been taking advantage of the cold, shorter days; catching up on any number of things that got neglected over the past months. I’ve dusted off the […]
Now that guiding season has slowed, I get to do some fishing. It should come as no surprise that October here in the Wyoming Rockies means Brown trout. Shorter days get brown moving up and down river gearing up for spawning. It’s a great time to target large, aggressive fish with streamers. I hit the […]
It looks like I’ve guided my last trip of the season (unless the phone rings of course…), wrapping up what proved to be another great year on the water. Dave and I spent two days float fishing this past week; first on the Snake and then on the Salt. The weather couldn’t have been better […]
I spent the past week fishing with my friend Kurt. Kurt and I grew up together and spent lots of time fly fishing the streams and rivers of central PA while in college. Every year we try to get together to fish (usually Kurt comes out here once my guiding season slows). We fished hard […]
