Abaco Lodge, Bahamas
After many months planning and dreaming about this epic trip to the Bahamas with our group of 14, Scott Smith and I were almost packed and ready to go. I packed my things and unpacked my things then repacked my things, anxiously waiting to hit the road. To hell with this I thought, if it’s […]
Anaa Atoll
After nearly a year planning this trip we are finally here and enjoying this island paradise! – From my Journal entry for day one. This was the view from our hotel on our layover day in Tahiti before jumping on our departure flight to Anaa. Good times ahead! We had a whole day to explore […]
2018 guides trip a huge success
Our end of the year guides trip was one for the books. After a long season teaching and guiding, it was time for us all to act like kids again and go fishing. With our drift boats in tow, we left the Jackson grocery store with loads of delicious meats and a keg of good […]
Spring on the Green River
Jess and I are just returning form an incredible 4 days camping and fishing along the famed A section of the Green River below flaming gorge dam. Fishing below a dam is so fun and hypocritical of me since I don’t like dams. Like Mr. Chouinard once said, “If you’re against a dam then you […]
Christmas in Mexico
The running of the bulls in the redneck riviera
Immediately following our trip to the Bahamas, I flew to Pensacola Florida to join Jess and Scott Smith for a couple days chasing redfish on the redneck riviera. I had never been to this area before so of course it was exciting to fish new water during the very exciting running of the bulls. We met […]
Abaco lodge bone fishing trip report
I’ve always loved the environments where you can sight fish. The saltwater flats that are so inviting with white sand stretched out for miles in every direction. My preferred method of fishing is such, even if the fish are smaller, I prefer to try to see the fish before I cast. When I thought of […]
I survived guide season then went fishing
As the season is coming to a close, I have more and more free time to go fishing. I’ve been waiting all summer for my chance to sit in the bow, so when Tom Montgomery and Neil Chamberlin asked if I wanted to join yesterday, I said hell yes. We left town way too early. […]
Fly Fishing Jenny Lake
For years, Jenny lake has been one of my favorite places to fly fish. Most people avoid lakes all together because they don’t know how to fish them. It’s one of my favorite environments to catch fish in, and it is great practice when it comes to feeding much bigger saltwater fish on the flats. […]
August
August started with a broken motor mount on Yellowstone Lake. Luckily Anderson and Becker were cool about it and were happy just listening to trap music and eating fried chicken. I fished with Bill and Paula who are long time regulars who I’ve always loved fishing with. We floated the dam stretch and had superb […]
