The Summer Fishing is Good!

The fishing this summer has been very good … So far! The bugs are out and the days are warm! I only wish I had more time to be on the river with friends and family!

HUGE THANKS to the crew @ Fishy Kid ( http://www.fishykid.org ) for all their work and the cool contests! My son Jack won a Echo Gecko Fly Rod in the coloring contest earlier this year and he loves it! The 2 inch fighting butt REALLY helps the little guy with his cast!

Guide School with WorldCast Anglers

I recently had the opportunity and the time to get up to Island Park to participate in the WorldCast Anglers Western Rivers Guide School. Even though there is a ton of info on the website, I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. The school exceeded what I though it might be. Very professional, fun, and a overall fantastic experience. This ended up being very well rounded with two days of courses form “how to teach basic casting”, conservation presentations from TU, and entomology with Mike Bias (founder of the Big Hole River Foundation)… to the economics of being a guide.

I ended up meeting a great group of guys and guides. Gaining a solid foundation in prep for getting a drift boat was my number one objective, and I came away feeling pretty solid. Each day on the river there were 2 different students paired with a different guide, and there were 5 days on the water. Getting a feel for each guides approach to fishing, client interaction, and rowing was a real plus. There was a definite progression in the difficulty of rowing from day to day. We went from less intense Henry’s Fork to a section to a bit more of a technical section of the South Fork. I ended course feeling *far* more confident in my abilities and cant wait to get that boat!

Southwest Montana Spring Skwala Trip

BryanG, Myself, Paul from William Joseph, and a couple others took a spring trip up to SWMT about a month or so ago … If you want the full report Cam posted trip report a little while back over on The Fiberglass Manifesto. Suffice it to say … We had a awesome time. There was some decent top water action on the first day and some good streamer action the remainder of the trip! We stayed with The Four Rivers fishing Company in Twin Bridges Montana… Who hooked-us-up with some great accommodations and a second boat.

We had some good dry fly action the first day and some weather dictated streamer action on days 2 and 3!

Here are the pics!

Drake Magazine Cover

Wow, The cover of The Drake … I know that The Drake always beautifully captures the spirit of fly fishing and I dreamed that maybe someday a photo of mine would land on the cover this unbelievably fantastic magazine. So much of fishing is being out with others, enjoying the time with friends and the beauty of the surroundings. Hopefully, I am able to capture some of what every angler loves about this sport.

Big thanks to Doug Barnes, Angler and Photographer, for letting me snap his pic and getting out with me!
