Memories from Sudan, Dubai and Oman – 2015

September 2, 2015May 5, 2015 by Jeff

I have to slap myself to believe I’ve been saltwater fly fishing for five straight weeks out of Dubai, Sudan and Oman. This has been no less than insane. No doubt there were ups and downs and fishing overall was tough. But saltwater fly fishing is always tough especially when you go this far from … Read more

The Heat Challenge – Flyfishing in Oman – Day 5

September 2, 2015April 19, 2015 by Jeff

I awoke at 5:45 AM to the Call to Prayer coming from Sharbithat. I sat up in my dew covered sleeping bag just in time to catch the sun popping up behind a distant mosque. The sights and sounds were almighty. We really are on the other side of the world. Then I turned to … Read more

Granny and I had a clammy night of sleep our first night camping on the beach in Oman. We were on cots under the stars in our jungle (lightweight) sleeping bags. At about 1 AM I noticed we were getting covered in dew. By sunrise it was so thick we both were drenched from head … Read more

Driving in Oman – Day 2

September 2, 2015April 16, 2015 by Jeff

I’m not a fan of driving in traffic and I’m definitely not a fan of renting cars because it means double trouble – driving in traffic and usually driving in an area I’m unfamiliar with. The idea of renting a car in Muscat, Oman and cruising around has had me terrified for a month! … Read more

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!
