Life long fly angler with a photography hobby, out of control. I worked fly fishing retail, as a guide in the PNW and Alaska. I was a fly tackle sales rep for almost every company in the industry. I was cured of an early life steelhead addiction. I love bass and big crappie. Tropical saltwater and jungle fly fishing rocks. I’m super lucky to know hundreds of amazing people in this crazy little sport.
- Home water? Central and Eastern Oregon rivers and lakes
- What 2-3 lines do you use the most and why? For 5X and 6X dry fly and emerger fishing, to selective trout, I like the Amplitude Smooth Trout in WF-4-F. In lakes, especially when fishing small callibeatis nymphs and caddis pupa, I use the Sonar Stillwater Clear Camo in WF-5-S.
- Where would you most like to fish? Mousing rainbows on the Aniak River, Alaska.
- Two Truths and a Lie. Northwest region AAU trampoline champion 1972. (2) Alaska bush pilot 1979 to 1984. (3) Scientific Anglers and Orvis sales rep in 1980’s and 1990’s.
