South Fork fly fishing with Josh Holloway on Jimmy Kimmel Live PART 1

There’s a reason people come to the Southfork, Snake River for fly fishing. Even the famous ones can’t get enough.

Signs of Antarctica.

As if life at Mcmurdo station wasn't weird enough (artsy). Here's a taste of the things we're left to interpret yourself. The Glitter, Dreams and Urine Soaked pants containers are new additons to the station this season. Makes you wonder what happend over the winter. Hmmmm. It's all in good fun 8-

Van Halen, Jump.

In true Antarctic style, local Mcmurdo Station band entertains the community for a Saturday night gathering. There are many talented musicians down here.

Happy Thanksgiving. Upland bird feast.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Giving thanks to my wife for letting me, my friends for showing me, my family for supporting me and my dog Abel for making the magic happen.

This is the first teaser (test) for a Upland hunting short video I’m currently working on. More to come in the near future. This video will be done in the style of my boys over at Mouthful of Feathers.

The Green River needs your help!!

The Green River Needs Your Help: A Letter from Kurt Finlayson Posted on 11/18/2011 by admin Angling Trade Magazine.

Hello Fishing Friends, Hopefully you have had a year full of fishing adventures and are taking advantage of the fantastic fall! Today, I am writing for your help in the support of trout and the beautiful places they live. Unfortunately, the “Million Pipeline” has reared its ugly head once again. This terrible project won’t die and has moved into a public comment period. My fishing buddy, Lance Egan, wrote a great piece about it on his FF blog and provides some details about this project. It affects the Green River in Utah and Wyoming by diverting water to the Colorado front range. This would be a devastating blow to the landscape of this beautiful area. I know for some of you this may be a long way from where you fish but it is a very special place that I hope you can help us save. Take a few minutes to learn about it and then make your opinion a part of the proceedings by following the instructions below. It is very easy and only takes a minute or two!!

Tricky little devils.

Bright and early, was the start to our morning. Abel and I headed straight to a "sure thing" for pheasants in our region. We needed to find out how many new moves these tricky little devils were going to bust out this season. As mentioned in a blog entry for some upland brothers over at mouthful of feathers had to say about ditch parrots.

"They've been going over their playbook and have been scrimmaging during off season."

Well, so have we. Abel even improvised today, and I watched him tunnel through 15 feet of (250 thread count) native grass so thick, I couldn't find him or the pheasant he was flushing. Needless to say, we limited.

Now, back to the playbook so we can perfect our second season playaction pass.

First Carp

Jeff Judkins with his first taste of the Carp King. It didn't take Jeff long to put his fly fishing mastery to use of these difficult fish. Jeff was patient and precise. He made the cast and set the hook on several carp this day. Well done Amigo.

Big water success on the South Fork

Another AWESOME day of fishing with David and Jacob. This was year four of guiding the father and son duo. Every year is a magical one with these anglers, and this year was no different, even with the river being swollen to the gills. The South Fork is running at over 17,000 cfs, the visibility is about a foot deep and the fishes are having a hard time seeing anything that resembles food. But, our persistance paid off handsomely. 15 fish were landed and four were trout. One really nice 19" Brown Trout was landed by David. Nice work guys. See you next year.
