Student gets B- on Final Exam

After years of exposure to fishing is fighting, old man must pass final to leave to go home or freeze in the tough Wyoming winters---the young teacher is allowing the old man to go home  

Pap says thanks
 Lonnie has been somewhat of my protege over the past couple of years and in his last few days in the west we manged to get out and beat the water. He has come far in reading water and executing casts and fly selection. On his last morning here we shot up to some local water, fishing was tough and toward the end of the morning he took some direction and made the perfect drift through this tough pocket behind a rock and this brown trout crushed it. Nice work pap, keep educating the youth of America. Good time this summer pal, thanks again.

Smiles all around

Northwest WY is a phenominal place to learn to fish. I had the pleasure of taking a father and his son out from Texas. I was a little concerned initially about a full day with an eight year old, but Thomas is a wonderfully smart little boy that loved to learn about fly fishing. We had a great trip and caught heaps of fish. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Too much like fun

Making memories

Epic shot...Fish on
