I’ve been chasing trout for a long time. What started as a crazy fun weekend in the Rockies somehow turned into a lifelong habit.

I’m drawn to wild fish — especially those living where they belong. There’s something grounding about watching a trout rise in its native water, sliding just far enough to take a bug. It never gets old.

I still enjoy learning. Recently my buddy Jeff introduced me to trout spey — a humbling reminder that trout are quick to expose gaps in your skill set. It’s good to be a beginner again.

From time to time I write — stories from the water, notes on fisheries and the fish they hold, and the occasional ramble that probably made more sense streamside.

If you enjoy wild trout, quiet water, and the sense that there’s always something new to experience, you’ll probably feel at home here.
