My love of fishing began in the early ' 1980s. I enjoy many types of fishing, but my area of expertise is fly fishing on lakes and ponds in my float tube. I enjoy giving seminars and teaching classes on everything to do with fly fishing. You can often find me looking for wild trout on my backpacking trips or studying the fishing patterns of my favorite local lakes. I have finished the California Heritage Trout Challenge completely out of a float tube and I am currently doing slide shows and seminars on the adventure. If your club or organization is looking for a guest speaker please inquire by sending me an email through the contact page.
I have also completed the:
Wyoming Game and Fish Cuttslam program.
Utah Department of Natural Resources Cutthroat Slam program.
This page is a small example of different fish that I have caught with the fly rod.
