Fly fishing in Atlanta Georgia
I’m up at 30,000 feet on my way to Panama and I just had to write about my most recent layover in Atlanta Georgia. My friend Brian Shinall lives there and invited me in to his home for a few days while I waited for my flight. Brian took me out for a birthday party […]
The Sheepy 2017
During the first four days of practice for the sheepy tournament my good friend Hollis Bennett joined us as our own personal photographer. I got to know Hollis last year in New Zealand through our mutual friend Jeff Forsee. Have a look back at this old blog post to read about our epic adventure in […]
Fly fishing in the Florida keys
After all the madness in the marsh I would have been a fool not to take up my friends offer to join her in the Florida Keys. Jim tagged along too and before you know it we were sipping cocktails in a fancy little beach bar eating fresh grouper tacos. I had been to the […]
My first Sheepshead on the fly
It was hard to beat yesterday all together. Yesterday was one of the most exciting fishing days I have ever had. It was so good in fact that today you couldn’t help but feel as if the fishing was going to suck. Jim and I approached our first big mud around 9 am. We were […]
Day 3 – Madness in the Marsh
I have to say New Orleans was getting the best of me because we had two days where the weather was terrible so we visited bourbon street, played mini golf with beers, went out for crab cakes, crashed a party after a horse race and went out into the city until the late/early hours of […]
Day two in New Orleans
Today we started our day at an iconic breakfast spot situated next to the lower ninth ward, ground zero for hurricane Katrina. We walked into Penny’s cafe and I immediately felt the rich fly fishing history. It seemed like every other table was filled with a guide and clients. I went to the bathroom and […]
First day red fishing in Louisiana
Leaving the Jackson Hole airport can be tricky. A serious winter storm warning was in effect and I had a plane to catch and a connection to New Orleans to make. The de-icing always takes longer than you think and I was getting nervous. When we hit the ground I was running to make my […]
Fly Fishing in Phoenix Arizona
I had the chance to fish to some of the most elusive and weary carp of my life recently in Phoenix Arizona with my friend Ryan Russell, owner of Arizona fly fishing adventures. What’s great about Ryan and this story in general is that I had never met Ryan before. Furthermore, a quick search on […]
Guides trip 2016
Last weekend was one for the books. Our annual guide’s trip took place in Thermopolis Wyoming on the Bighorn and Wind river canyon. It was a party of epic proportions where fishing came second to floating a beautiful river with great friends. I was excited to drive the four hours with my good friend/fellow guide […]
When time forgot about us
I remember walking a flat to my self with little snake island to my left and Saudi Arabia across the way and I was humming some old coutry tune over and over again. For some reason I kept repeating one verse in my head that went “O come angel band, come around me stand, bare […]
