Life long fly angler with a photography hobby, out of control. I worked fly fishing retail, as a guide in the PNW and Alaska. I was a fly tackle sales rep for almost every company in the industry. I was cured of an early life steelhead addiction. I love bass and big crappie. Tropical saltwater and jungle fly fishing rocks. I’m super lucky to know hundreds of amazing people in this crazy little sport.

1. Home water? Central and Eastern Oregon rivers and lakes
2. What 2-3 lines do you use the most and why? For 5X and 6X dry fly and emerger fishing, to selective trout, I like the Amplitude Smooth Trout in WF-4-F.  In lakes, especially when fishing small callibeatis nymphs and caddis pupa, I use the Sonar Stillwater Clear Camo in WF-5-S.
3. Where would you most like to fish? Mousing rainbows on the Aniak River, Alaska.
4. Two Truths and a Lie. 
 Northwest region AAU trampoline champion 1972. (2) Alaska bush pilot 1979 to 1984. (3) Scientific Anglers and Orvis sales rep in 1980’s and 1990’s.
