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 […]

Also had the pleasure of fishing with Sam and Pete who were first timers from Illinois, […]
The Henrys fork marathon
In between lewis lake trips and the madness of the firehole, I was able to escape for a day recently and join a few good friends for our annual Henrys fork marathon. I first fished in the marathon in my early days working for Jeff Currier about nine years ago. Jeff and I had the same […]
Fly Fishing Jenny Lake
Jess and I decided to make a run for one of our favorite lakes yesterday. Jenny lake in Grand Teton National Park has always been one of my favorite early and late season fisheries. With the high water this year most of our rivers in the area are flooded. Run off has peaked so we […]
Fly Fishing Yellowstone Lake
I had the most epic day of fly fishing in my life yesterday with Dave Smith and Scott Smith, two of our top guides at Grand Teton Fly Fishing. Scott is head guide and owner of the company, while Dave is a long time fish head, and probably the best fly tyer in the valley. Scott […]
