Since Friday when I added the Sonora and desert suckers to my species list, fishing was tough for Granny and I. We fished for a few hours on Saturday on one of my favorite canals in Phoenix. There were plenty of fish but we were after the grass carp. Granny and I both had about … Read more

Mr. Sonora and a Bonus Sucker on the Fly

I know when I’m about to add a new type of fish to my species list. I leap from bed. My coffee tastes better. Everything feels perfect. This morning I had all these feel good sensations. The Sonora sucker wasn’t going to be my next “marlin curse”. This handsome bottom dweller was about to go … Read more

The Denver Fly Fishing Show was back in full form this past weekend. I’m so glad!

Nor’easter Show Dagger

February 2, 2022 by Jeff

If its not one thing its another. After the postponement of the Marlboro Fly Fishing Show it felt good that the Edison New Jersey Fly Fishing Show was going on for sure.

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!
