Iceland Here I Come!

July 31, 2014 by Jeff

If there’s one place I’ve been striving to get to the last 25 years it’s Iceland. Many customers that I served during my fly shop days in Jackson, Wyoming went to Iceland annually. The stories of its beauty and the numbers of Atlantic salmon they caught was mind blowing. But so was the cost. … Read more

Never too Early to Think One Fly

July 28, 2014July 25, 2014 by Jeff

The Jackson Hole One Fly is approaching fast. It’s a sad fact in a way because it means summer is disappearing, but it’s also very exciting. The One Fly is the only competitive fly fishing I get anymore and I find it exhilarating. And this year I’ll be defending my title. . . . … Read more

Ladies Day on the Renteria River

July 24, 2014July 23, 2014 by Jeff

Although I rarely make a cast, “ladies day” is one of my favorite days of the year (2013, 2012). I row Granny and our friend Jessica Chitwood down a river I’ve been meaning to explore. Some years it’s a bust but sometimes the girls roust a good number of fish. This year I chose the … Read more

ICAST 2014 – Orlando Florida

July 19, 2014July 19, 2014 by Jeff

I’m just back from the Fly Tackle Dealer (FTD)/ICAST show in Orlando, FL. This was an event that I didn’t want to leave Idaho for – not with all the great fishing going on near home. But, it turns out I had a great trip and I got to play with some fantastic new products … Read more

Life on the River

July 14, 2014July 13, 2014 by Jeff

July 11-13, 2014 If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile you know about Sammy Vigneri. Sammy is one of my best friends going all the way back to when we were working together in a fly shop in 1987. Sammy went to school for about twelve years after that and became a Gynecologist. … Read more

Floating High on the West Fork of the Nunya

July 10, 2014July 9, 2014 by Jeff

July 8 & 9, 2014 This summer has been a blur. In fact this year has been a blur. I’ve hardly done anything normal as far as fishing goes. Yea, there were a few days on the Henry’s Fork but normally I fish there ten times in June. It’s been bass, carp, Bhutan, saltwater … Read more

Storm Triggered Carp on Blackfoot Reservoir

July 7, 2014 by Jeff

I headed back to Blackfoot Reservoir to get Skip Brittenham into a few more carp while he’s here on his 4th of July visit. Fishing started slow but gradually they started to eat. When the first clouds filled the sky we only had one landed. Then rumbles of thunder came from the west followed by … Read more

Henry’s Fork Marathon 2014

July 13, 2014July 1, 2014 by Jeff

We all have big fishing days from time to time. I don’t mean fish catching wise, but rather a long hard fought day on the water. You might get an early start and get home for dinner or you might leave after lunch and get home at dark. You rack up a good 8-10 hours … Read more

Contact Jeff

I started fly fishing at age 7 in the lakes and ponds of New England cutting my teeth on various sunfish, bass, crappie and stocked trout. I went to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where I graduated with a Naturalist Degree while I discovered new fishing opportunities for pike, muskellunge, walleyes and various salmonids found in Lake Superior and its tributaries.

From there I headed west to work a few years in the Yellowstone region to simply work as much as most people fish and fish as much as most people work. I did just that, only it lasted over 20 years working at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where I departed in 2009. Now it’s time to work for "The Man", working for myself that is.

I pursue my love to paint fish, lecture on every aspect of fly fishing you can imagine and host a few trips to some of the most exotic places you can think of. My ultimate goal is to catch as many species of fish on fly possible from freshwater to saltwater, throughout the world. I presently have taken over 440 species from over 60 countries!
