Yep, I was in a roll over into the St. Joe river due to deers on the road. It sucked. My truck and trailer are totalled. Boat is doing alright. We’ve got parts coming to fix her up. Already in the process of getting a new rig and trailer. Have temporary stuff until then. Fly rods and reels are being sent in for warranty this week. Thank you to everyone for your support. The best way you can help me…is to book trips on the Yakima or St. Joe Rivers through October.

The fishing is always amazing, its my favorite time of year to guide, and if you’re gonna give me money to help out it might as well be for a trip. So book a trip, a lesson, sign up for a clinic, walk and wade, halfer, full what have you. I just wanna get back to work and doing what I love. Trips are how things keep going and things get replaced, bills paid, and kids fed. Thank you to everyone. I’m slowly getting to everyone who has reached out.

Thank you and I’m sure there will be more details and posts about it and so much more from this season. Just wicked busy with guiding. Stay safe, wear your seat belt always, drive the speed limits, don’t drive intoxicated, and watch out for wildlife. It can be a real bitch otherwise. I got super lucky people, really lucky that I wasn’t injured and walked away with only stuff and things broken and damaged.

See you Riverside.

I have been fishing the Yakima River and its surrounding tributaries, creeks, and lakes for 10 years. I have been tying flies specific to this river for 10 years as well. I have guided not only the river but also many of the hiking and mountaineering trails in the area and fished some of the more remote lakes and streams. I love to fish the Yakima River and have been running my driftboat here for 5 years. I guide a little differently than the other services here and have a slightly different philosophy on guided fishing trips. Its all about the experience, and while I can't promise there will always be cooperative trout, there will always be good times. I learned from some of the greatest anglers the Yakima has both on the water and at the vise and I guide to share and pass on that knowledge and expertise so others can enjoy this river as much as I do. I love to teach people to fish, I love to teach people how to read the river, and I love showing people the beauty and art of fly fishing. My service is a bit cheaper but that is because I have no shop taking a percentage. I use a lot of my own fly designs and patterns that no other guide has and have spent the past 10 years fine tuning my tying and patterns specific to this river. I have flies, leaders, tippets, and fly rods and reels, and always welcome anglers to bring their own gear. If you need waders and boots I can arrange for a rental. I support my local fly shop for my trips as well as it is important to me that our local shops stay open. When you take a trip with me it all about fishing and the experiences that happen along the river. I love getting my clients to have great moments with our trout here. Ask me all the questions you can, I want to teach as much as you want to learn. Whether you are an experienced angler or brand new to the sport I love sharing this river with people. I guide the Yakima River and many other secret waters in the area. When you give me a call I will ask you lots of questions as I want to make sure you have the best experience possible while chasing the trout we have here. Whether its a guided river float or a hike and fish, or a walk and wade to the secret places, I can help make your fly fishing experience memorable and fun. Give me a call today and lets set up a time to go fishing.
