Fishing Pressure -> Smart Fish As I have mentioned in other posts, most of my trout fishing is split between Utah and Idaho. Each season I also fish several days in Montana and Wyoming, including Yellowstone. As fly fishing’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, a side effect is pressured waters, particularly in places where […]
In winter, sometimes you have to NYMPH!!
Day 6, 2022 – Feb10th The Set-up(Long) Nymphing happens to be at the bottom of my fly fishing techniques or forms. Starting with my most favorite; dry fly casting. The dry fly cast is just so special, and there is always room for improvement. Nothing feels better IMHO than standing in the middle of the […]
Timing the Hatch – Midges in January
It came to me the other day, while fishing the middle Provo, below the Jordanelle dam. There is a lot to timing a hatch. I was up there for a fly fishing club outing. In fact, there were three local clubs coming together to share an event. A BBQ social, timed early on account of […]
Jack’s Black Drum
This is a story about Jack’s Black Drum from about ten years ago. We were on a club outing on the Banana River in Florida with most of us two to a canoe. The group found a school of tailing black drum and Jack managed to hook into one that I got on video with […]
What a Difference a Day Makes!
This post is a sequel to the post “WInter Dry Fly Fishing at it’s Best”. So last night after posting the story referenced above, I got all excited about returning to the same spot the next day, Sunday. That was this morning as it is now Sunday night. I even had the same dinner tonight […]

Winter Dry Fly Fishing at it’s Best!
Just got off the water, showered, ate. It is Saturday, January 15th. I worked quite a lot this week and came up to the Teton Valley on a Wednesday, had busy work days Thursday and Friday. Headed out when the temperature was 12 in Victor. Made it to the Henry’s Fork around noon. Decided to […]
Fly Tying
My relationship with fly tying is a love/hate. Most of the time I feel very much like a klutz. All thumbs. I’m an amateur, even though I have been tying for over 10 years, but it is largely because I don’t dedicate enough time to it. It is like anything, you have to put in […]
Music On Main – Victor, Idaho
Music on Main is one of the pillars that defines the small, mountain town culture that is Victor, Idaho. We have the foundation to thank for this, and the sponsors – Richard & Claire, who funded it, along with local sponsors. It is great that these concerts are free to the public and family oriented. […]
Quick and Easy Cabin Chili
OK, my Green Chili recipe takes awhile to prepare, however this quick recipe can be done in a little over a half hour. Like most chili, it just gets better the longer it simmers. Ingredients: 4 Cans Ranch Beans w/ Jalapeños (you can use beans w/o jalapenos for less heat) 2lbs Ground Turkey (ground beef […]
