Fly Fishing Photography
Pumped to have the cover image for the new issue of The FlyFish Journal. This image was shot on Silver Creek this past May—before the fishing season opened—when there was a pretty consistent PMD emergence for a few weeks. Shot with the Nikon 200-400 ƒ4 lens.

Fly Fishing Guide Portraits
Keko, pictured below, was my guide on my first trip to Cuba about 9 or so years ago. He was also my guide on my recent trip back to Cuba in May. I was part of the second group he had guided this May after 14 plus months of zero work due to Covid.
To say life for him and his colleagues during Covid was a challenge is an understatement. With essentially no income he shot birds using small allotments of time he was allowed outside of the house. Family and neighbors shared and pooled what little they had to eat…
“Things have been very very difficult,” Keko told me one night on my trip. He wasn’t asking for sympathy. I had asked what it was like going jobless for over a year. He was guarded and I knew that. Too much disclosure can lead to jail time.
I hope that guiding for him offers some relief both financially and psychologically. Unfortunately, Cuba is still on a tight lockdown and he’s undoubtedly not able to guide much until Cuba gets vaccines. The Cuban people want them and need them but are not yet readily available.

Fly Fish Guanaja, Honduras
The best part of travel for me is interacting with those who live where I visit. On a recent trip to the Bay Island of Guanaja in Honduras I was able to do that for the first time in a year. Cody Catherall, Scott Fergusen, and I walked a few blocks into Mangrove Bight with a couple of fly rods knowing there are some pretty good sized tarpon under the docks. Instead of tarpon we ran into some great kids and spent an evening casting and laughing with them.
For those interested in a future saltwater destination, Guanaja is an incredible place and I’ll be hosting trips there in 2022. Feel free to reach out for info. Here’s the link to Fly Fish Guanaja.

Guanaja, Honduras Landscapes
Below are a couple of new landscape images I recently took on a trip to Guanaja, Honduras. It’s generally a given it’s going to rain at some point and I’ve been fascinated with the texture of the Caribbean during a squall.

Anglers Journal
Excited to have work in the new issue of Anglers Journal. Two features. One on portraits of fly fishing guides from New Zealand, Argentina, and Chile to Honduras, Cuba, the Bahamas and others. The other is on a handliner in Baja, Mexico I came across last December while camping on a remote beach for a week.
The FlyFish Journal
Excited to have written a feature in the new issue of The FlyFish Journal on the mouse year phenomenon in New Zealand. Last year was a special year given the fact it was a mega mast and the size of some of the trout—most notably on the South Island—was jaw dropping. What’s a mega mast? Read it to find out!

Idaho Falconry
Spent the day yesterday with a falconer and his gyrfalcon. It was an absolutely stunning yet frigid day and ended successfully with a mallard to the hand.
