As I mentioned before, this month has treated me exceptionally kind… I know its bound to end but wow, another humbling moment. TROUT magazine [Trout Unlimited] ran three of my images.

Three Days of Poor Etiquette
I was a bit tied up with work for a few weeks, after some serious long hours and no sleep it was time to hit the road. Grizz, Spicy (Nick G), and I geared up and headed out. We knew we might have some weather ahead but nothing prepared us for the events that [...]

Dream Streams_The Bucket Place – Kamchatka
Where is that one place you dream of fishing before you die?
I’ve been lucky enough to have fished in many waters, in many far off places, in Salt and Fresh. I’ve checked off my all time favorite many, many times, the giant Blue Fin Tuna. But after the decade of chasing the largest game fish [...]

Urban Fishing for Golden Bones… aka Carp
Most of my fishing is spent targeting places which take a lot of time and effort to get to. I depend on having at least one entire day off do accomplish this. But lately I’ve been working half-day shifts, early mornings are now spent at work. This puts a damper on my fishing adventures and [...]
Matching the Hatch – late winter
Ralphy and I decided to to go and play “the match the hatch game” on a local tailwater. It’s a fun but yet frustrating game, sometimes.
The game for us is simple… match the hatch
It can get rather exciting at times, when you have riffled through 20 or so patterns to finally find”The One”. But “The [...]

Chironomid Fly Pattern – The Ralphy Bomb
With Spring around the Corner, I’ve been busy researching stillwater patters. A fly swap popped up… what a good opportunity to see what others are fishing.
After some reading, a bit of thought, more reading, a bit more thought… I jetted down to Fish Tech to see Ol’ Ralphy. He’s always fiddling around with cool ideas, [...]
Second attempt; Moldy Chum – SOTM (slab of the month)
The Arizona Bow was my second entry for Moldy Chum January’s entry for SOTM (Slab of the month). I didn’t win again, lost to Salt Water, again. Third time the charm?? ha ha… It was an honor to even be considered, again, and hopefully in the near future I’ll have another entry ; )

Published – Fly Rod & Reel, March 2009
A big thanks goes out to Greg Thomas. He did a superb job on the article. It was awesome talking about a fish to someone you held in high regards as a fisherman. Quite odd, as I always thought that if I ever got a chance to meet him, I figured it would be me [...]
Now Back to the Previously Scheduled… Green River Trip
Guch invited a few of us to their annual “cast and blast” Green River tip. I was in, Grizz too. I was looking forward to the trip and needless to say, it was a much needed one. The past few weeks really sucked and I hadn’t been on the water in 2 weeks. [...]
