It is my pleasure to offer Fishing Reports to enable your fishing adventure to be a successful one...wherever you wet a fly.

My Goals

Get away from the stress of everyday life and create a relaxing and fun adventure fishing vacation.

I will be updating this site periodically to give you up-to-date, hands-on fishing information. Where to go...when to go...what to use...and how to present. Multiple states will be covered as I collect research for my role as Rocky Mountain Region Editor for Fly Fish America magazine.

My History

At a young age, my father and I began a lifetime of bait fishing together; continuing through his lifetime when in his 80's we would take off for an afternoon of Gulf fishing in Florida. I will always remember those days; whether a few hours or an entire day.

When I retired and moved to Colorado I realized that I needed to learn to fly-fish. With the help of wonderful friends and a few excellent guides, my journey began. It was soon apparent that no one had taken the time to write down the techniques and approaches to this unique style of fishing. So...Handbook of Western Fly Fishing was created.

I hope to add to my reader's knowledge by providing FISHING REPORTS on the numerous locations I visit on a regular basis, thereby enhancing their experiences!

I'd love to hear from you. Please CONTACT ME to share.
