Description

I began fishing at the age of 7 and caught my first fish at Mac's Inn in Island Park on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, Idaho, using a fiberglass fly rod and fishing a worm. That was 1972 and I've been crazy about fishing ever since. I took my first fly tying class at the age of 15 from a math teacher of mine and became a disciple of the fly rod in the late 1980's. I've been lucky enough to pursue and catch fish with flies on many of the great trout, salmon, and steelhead rivers of the West, Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Alaska.

Between 1982 and 1999, besides fishing, I was actively involved with the sport of falconry and held a master's license. I enjoyed flying and hunting my falcons on ducks, pheasants, and grouse in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho during the winter months. From January through October I spent my time exploring numerous river systems in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. I graduated with a B.S. degree in Applied Physics from the University of Utah in 1994.

Although I still like to catch trout, nothing excites me more than chasing and catching big ocean going fish such as Steelhead, Salmon, and Sea-run Cutthroat, fish that really know how to put on a fight. Many fly fisherman may not know that Pacific salmon will readily take flies when given the right opportunity. As I've traveled around the Pacific Northwest, seldom have I seen many who pursue Pacific Salmonids with flies. It was this little known fact that has compelled me to offer guided fly fishing opportunities to those who would like to try their hand at what I consider the most fun that can be had on a fly rod.
