There’s only one month of the year that looks like this on Silver Creek to me and it’s June.
Silver Creek and Picabo, Idaho. June 2020.

Lost River Range. Lots of wind and squalls and cooler weather…

While it will undoubtedly be a severe drought year, it’s spring-green and beautiful at the moment.

Silver Creek Brown Drakes 2020
Waiting for drakes… It’s almost time for the largest bug of the year to emerge from Silver Creek. It’s anyone’s guess as to exactly when brown drakes will start, but given the very warm weather—potentially record breaking high temps over the next two days—it’ll likely be soon.

Strung Magazine
New work in Strung Magazine. This shot was taken a few years back on the Limay River in Argentina. It’s of Pablo Viñaras, a Limay River Lodge guide, on a late summer day fishing a side channel.
Cuba Travel Images
I just got back from two weeks in Cuba. The first week was spent traveling to Vinales and Cienfuegos and photographing Cuban people.
I had never spent any time in either of these two places and they were both striking in different ways: Viñales is a small town in western Cuba with low mountain ranges and lush valleys that produce tobacco, coffee, and honey. There are plenty of casa particulares—think Airbnb. These are homes and rooms for rent and often the owner cooks meals for guests as well. I used casa particulares in Viñales, Cienfuegos, and Havana.
Cienfuegos is an industrial town of approx 165,000 along the south-central coast. It’s not touristy like nearby Trinidad and has beautiful, yet worn-out, French colonial architecture.
My second week was spent in Cayo Largo on a live-aboard yacht fishing for a week. We didn’t have cell or wifi and were quite surprised when we got back to Havana to hear the global news. Everyone in my group made it back home safely and fortunately painlessly.

The Drake Magazine. Winter 2020
Excited to have work in the new issue of The Drake. It’s on Magdalena Bay in Baja, Mexico shot this November on a trip with John Huber who wrote the piece.
The biggest surprise for me was having the opportunity to free dive with feeding marlin in the blue water. A group of four scientists happened to be staying at the same hotel John and I were at and they were there to free dive with striped marlin and record data with sonar for a variety of purposes including measuring speed. In any event, they mentioned it and said it was safe enough and I thought, “I’m in.”
The following two days John and I spent fly fishing to marlin and free diving with them. To read John’s great piece and to check out the images, go grab a copy.

Idaho Winter Landscape
Looking and feeling more like spring than winter around here lately. Here are two images of Silver Creek from two evenings ago.
New Zealand Landscape
A hint of smoke on a South Island summer evening taken a few weeks ago from the headwaters of a large catchment.
American Angler Cover
Excited to have the cover of the new issue of American Angler. This shot was taken a few summer’s ago on Silver Creek on what was a truly memorable July day on Silver Creek. This was in the afternoon which meant the crowds had left after the morning hatch and the Creek was virtually void of fishermen—at least on the section I was on.
Big Sky Journal Fly Fishing Issue
Excited to have a photo essay in the new issue of the Big Sky Journal. Thanks to trout guides here in Idaho and Montana and also in Argentina and New Zealand for being a part of it.
Fly Fishing New Zealand
Two shots of the same location… Up close and pulled back.
South Island Fisherman and River Landscape
9:30 pm and still a bit light… This image was taken from our camp looking upstream on a warm summer evening a week or so ago. New Zealand.
Black and White Underwater Brown Trout Print
I just added the below image to the Black and White prints section of this web site. I shot it on a recent trip to New Zealand where the water can be extraordinarily clear.
