Cleaning House

Just prior to my wedding Sept. 6, 2014 I packed all my materials and bench up so that our house would be ready for additional guests. Over a year later with a newly re-finished bedroom and I finally have a place for my bench again. It took a couple days …

Jan. 15th: 2016

28ºF didn’t feel like 28ºF. Heavy overcast, lack of time dictated the creek. Wind in the face, at times howling. Just popped a handful of brown trout so the next couple days could see me inside tying flies with my trout itch fully scratched. Take advantage of the time you …

The Release: Slow Motion

Meine was testing out the camera on his phone and took this slow motion shot of me releasing a brown trout. Often this exchange between myself and the trout is the most satisfying. Just being able to marvel at the fish that is held in the palm of my hands before …

Jan. 3rd: 2016

  Fished from 10-2:30. Browns and brookies on a super small super spooky creek. Difficult rating was high, tight casting lanes cost me a few fish but this was honestly one of the best days I’ve ever had on a creek. I sat in the snow and dead drifted a …

Jan. 2nd: 2016

Back at it on the 2nd. Great day with excellent conditions. No rising trout, nymphs and streamers made the day. Took a friend out who is still learning the ropes, he had a good time. The sun was out, fish were active and the wind was low. Day number two …

Introducing: The Driftless Exposure

I’ve been approached a handful of time recently for images and it has spurred a push to increase my photographic skills. I’ve spent some time and money investing in a bit more advanced photography equipment and in what little free time I have available put together a second site dedicated …

The Big C. and its Carp

In late May I was invited to fish the Big C. with two guys who clearly know what there doing. I hooked into a decent number of carp under some pretty nasty circumstances, enjoyed the trip thoroughly and learned a few things along the way. This video demonstrates two of …
