Birthday Brown
Charlie Price and a nice birthday brown on Silver Creek. It's a tradition of mine to put aside guiding and whatever else to spend a day with each of my two sons on their respective birthdays.

Sun Valley Fly Fishing Guide
Below, Sun Valley area guide, Zac Mayhew, ties on something special during an evening on Silver Creek. It's one thing to guide all day and go home and clean up the best way a guide can and it's another thing to guide all day and then turn around and guide the evening as well. It's another thing too, to guide 50 more consecutive days. It takes a passion for teaching and being on the river to dedicate a life to this. Zac is a guide in the Sun Valley, Idaho area who has the crazy amalgamation of ingredients it takes to make a really good guide.
Silver Creek, Idaho
Late afternoon light on the final day of July. A lot of wind and a little smoke...

Idaho Grayling
Here's an image of, for me at least, a rare Idaho grayling caught on the upper Big Lost River watershed yesterday. While this guy probably did not exceed 10", it was a beautiful little specimen. We were lucky enough to have caught two of these yesterday. I have now seen 6 grayling in my 20 years of guiding this South Central Idaho area.
