A few more good fish

Nice fish JOHN! this monster bow took a nymph as soon as it hit the water and then buried himself to the bottom of the river for a few minutes before going on a tarpon run! great day on the water, and a great fish! ANDY--- AKA the humna fly shop!! this fishing trip is one to remember! Fly in big bows and in big ANDY! LOL great fish and great day.

The Green! Its on!!!!!

The Green fished great this last week and here is a great brown caught in a rain storm. Check out the blue dots on his face. awesome. Travis and I had a great day on a -notell streamer that has been turing fish all summer. another great day down and in the books. can't wait to do it again.!!!

Green River = HIGH AND COLD!

The water temp was not even breaking 50 degrees mid-day last week on the upper Green and the fish are not moving much. We flosted 6 days straight and only moved a few fish. The ones that did eat we big though. Check out Cody (NOLS student) with a 23 inch brown caught on the first day of the floats. This fish was a pig and the best one caught during the 5 day fishing trip with NOLS




Here is Jake (NOLS student) with a nice LAKER on the Green river on the upper section near the lake. This was his first trout on a fly rod on the Green.

Here are a few pics from some of the fish that I was able to pick up on some of the evening floats. Nice solid Browns and streamers. Thats what it is all about!!!

Here is one more shot of Cody's monster brown. I love this picture.

The New Fork is fishing better then the Green currentlly and the drakes are out--big time.

Starting the summer off RIGHT!

Fishing Wyoming During June 2011: High Water and Big Smiles

I had the chance last week to spend some time with a few friends/clients from last summer. We had a blast this year even considering the weather conditions. The rivers are really high and muddy and the feeding tribs are not fishing well up high either, but the 2 days were a much success. Jamie saw his first moose every and then went on to see a total of 6 during a 2 day span. Irby caught so many fish on Wednesday that his super hero fly was falling apart.

Then on Thursday Jamie caught his first ever 20 inch trout!! He had to work really hard and have lots of patience, but it paid off. Just check out his smile in the pic and you an see how pumped he is about it! Nice JOB!! I hope you two have a save return home and can't wait to do it all over again next summer. Get set up to build a rod and we can wrap next summer after a long day of fishing!

Family and Bows!

This past weekend I had a chance to go fishing with three of my favorite fishing buddy's; my older brother and his little girl, and my little brother. It was a cold day, like everyday in Wyoming until July, and most of the river was frozen over solid, but we found a little spring that was running into the river and opening up a side channel for a few hundred yards. These Big monster rainbows were hanging in the deep pools and not too interested in eating, but sooner or later our monster streamers did the job! In this picture is Trent, Eve, and Me! Holding a 26 inch female bow! awesome fish!

Here is a monster male that had been beat up a little on his back but still a heck of a fish. look at the mouth! half scary!

This is the same fish as the first picture. one of the most beatuiful rainbows i have ever caught.

This was a great day in early march. first fishing trip of the new year.

Snow White!

This winter has been brutal! Snow, Wind, Cold temp, and short days have definitely played a tole on a wimpy fly fishing bum! The snow melt should be great this year and provide us with good fishing long into the summer. The last few years the water has been pretty skinny going into mid August. I am really looking forward to the fishing this summer. SEE YOU ON THE WATER!
