River Report: Went fishing on New Years Day with Julian Riley and Emily Blankenship.  We met up on the Middle Provo at around 1130.  When we got there it was about 17 degrees, which isn’t to bad but what made it bearable is that there was no breeze and the sun was out for the [...]

Frenzy Top 10 A little over 3 years ago I wrote a post about the top 10 most mystical fish to catch on a fly rod.   It was well received for the most part, and although I don’t want to rewrite that blog post, I do wish to revise my top 5. Now, this is [...]

I filled in for some friends out at Crystal Ranch for a three day guide trip a couple weeks ago.  I don’t guide really that much due to my Family and Work schedule but the timing was right when they asked me.  We had some great clients from NY and NJ.   They had fished [...]

Hank Patterson considers himself the greatest fly fishing guide in the eastern and western and northern and southern hemispheres. You be the judge. Here is the latest tip from Hank.  ”I have to work” is no reason to not go fishing. It’s FALL! Fake an illness and get out on the water. You throw around [...]

Been fishing the Provo River Hooker a ton lately so I wanted to share some of my pics.  A couple months ago Collin Carlson sent me sample of his fly and I just started to fish it.  This fly with a couple other flies is becoming my favorite to fish.  The way it acts in [...]

First a little history:  I grew up with a passion for fishing.  I spent time fishing the Teton River, Both forks [...]

Fly Fishing Idaho I fly fished the Big Lost River in Idaho about 13 years ago below the Mackay Reservoir dam and shame on me for only fishing it once.  Maybe it’s because I’m constantly tempted to fly fish the closer rivers here in  Idaho like The South Fork or Henry’s Fork of the Snake [...]

I don’t know why but lately I have wanted to share a few tips that I have learned over the years. Last week I wrote about using a longer tippet and this week I want to briefly talk about the bugs in the river. I have fly fished for over 20 years, avidly doing it [...]
