Here’s a shot from the Firehole Canyon in Yellowstone National Park. Anglers Craig, Mark and Bob spent a day with me on the Firehole. Fishing was tough due to blue-bird skies and warm temps (the bugs never hatched). Despite this though we had a great day in the park! I’ve been busy around here, finishing […]
September is by far my favorite month to fish in and around Jackson Hole. Cottonwood and Aspen trees respond to cooler temperatures, changing their leaves from green to yellows and fish rise to various dry flies. Most of our days are sunny and warm, but the first snow of the season often falls in September; […]
With a lull in client activity this past week, I was able to focus on spending time with lulu, catching up on chores (i won’t bore you with details) and family fishing. My Mom, Dad, brother and Grandfather came out to visit. It’s been good seeing everyone and naturally fishing came up. My Grandfather, Don, […]
Whether because of the colder nighttime temperatures or the haziness in the air or some other cosmic thing that we can’t identify, fishing the past couple days has been SOLID. The Snake has really shinned, showing clients just how good it can be. Fish have been crushing mayfly patterns in riffles (my simple orange grizz […]
Needless to say things have been fairly crazy around here. Guiding has been keeping from updating this humble blog. And truthfully, if it’s between being out fishing folks and writing about fishing, I’m going to take the real thing every time! Susan put on a clinic on the Green River. Nice Brown trout! Overall the […]
Things have been busy around here leaving little time for blog posts and fishing updates; my apologies. July’s been full of fun fishing trips, good clients and unpredictable weather (clients had wool gloves on during a particularly cold, wet day a few weeks back!) Throw in a 3 month old labrador puppy, and you get […]
The summer weather around here continues to keep us fishing guides on our toes. For a while there, things were getting hot; fishing was good in the morning and slowed a bit during the afternoon heat. This week however a much cooler, wetter trend took over. The wet, cool weather should help keep local water […]
I’ve been busy towing the drift boat around lately, floating clients on the Green and Snake rivers. Both are in good shape and fishing pretty well. It’s nice to pull on the oars while watching my anglers cast stonefly patterns to eager fish. I had a day off this past weekend and told my lady […]
The past week had me out on the water with various anglers from across the country. With Yellowstone National Park waters clear and fishing well, it was only natural we headed north. The Firehole is a fun place to be casting a fly as David and Ken of Florida learned yesterday. Both guys were able […]
Fishing conditions are improving daily around here in Jackson Hole. Lately I’ve been spending time guiding clients up in Yellowstone National Park. The hotspot right now is the southwest corner of the park; notable (and fishy) waters in this area include the Madison, Gibbon, Lewis and of course the Firehole. These popular waters are fishing […]
