Excited to have a feature in the new issue—Spring 2019—of Anglers Journal. It’s portraits of 8 guides who work on Silver Creek. A long term project of mine is taking portraits of fly fishing guides, salt and freshwater, all over the world. This piece is great as it’s right in my back yard. Thanks to the 8 guides who not only took the time to be a part of this but let me take a portrait of them which is not always fun to do.

It’s starting to look and feel like fall. In fact, tomorrow, September 21st will be the first day of fall. Cool mornings and beautiful sunny days in the upper 60’s to low 70’s are on the horizon.

Limited Edition Prints of Rising Silver Creek Trout
Excited to pick up from the framer my first limited edition prints. The three prints are each 16" x 24" with a frame size of 24 3/4" x 32". I view them as a set of three. They cost $1,200 (framed) individually or $3,000 (also framed) for the set of three. I am limiting each image to 100 prints plus an artists proof.
The images were shot this July on Silver Creek.

Brown Drakes did not happen last night, but, as always, it was a great time waiting, watching and hoping... Silver Creek, Idaho.

Here's an image of mine appearing as the Table of Contents spread in the current issue of American Angler.
This was a fun shot to take on Silver Creek. It's actually one of a series of shots that shows this rainbow either about to take or just after taking this balled up spider web loaded with tricos. All of the other fish in this pod either ignored or refused this web ball, except for Spidy--so named do to its proclivity for trico laced spider web.

Here's an image taken of Silver Creek this morning, March 1st. Our snowpack is in the +/- 175% of normal which will most likely translate into large streamflows in the months ahead. Once the weather decides to warm up, Silver Creek could see near record flows.

Silver Creek Rising Rainbow
Cool and cloudy weather and often times flat out wet weather over the last two weeks have really ramped up the hatches on Silver Creek. Baetis and Mahogany Duns have been super consistent except for the days with too much rain. The image below was taken on Silver Creek during light rain and a good Baetis emergence.

A Rainy Day On Silver Creek
The rain and sometimes wind never really seemed to stop long enough for the bugs to get going for real yesterday. There were a few moments here and there though when the rain was light enough to allow callibaetis and baetis to actually get off the water without being pummeled by rain drops. During those momemts in the late afternoon there were a few risers...
