Quote: "Who you would most like to fish with? my next client!"

I was Introduced to fly fishing by my grandmother at age 10. Time has passed fast, and now I have more than 30 years flyfishing experience in both fresh and salt waters. As passionate instructor of fly fishing and snow skiing, I revel in the opportunity to turn people on to local waters and tactics for success. I like to wander in search of fishy places, and have fished extensively the waters of the Wyoming, Idaho and Montana region and during the off season I spend time plying the sandy beaches and pristine waters of Southern Baja in search of Rooster fish and many other tropical species. I have lived in Jackson since 1995 and now am married to M.B and have two sons age 8 and 4 who are quite the fishermen and skiers.
