<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Reeling For Research charity tourney took place a few weekends ago and was an absolute blast. Teams from all over the state competed to raise money for the NC Children's Hospital. All in all, over $500,000 was raised in this tournaments fifth year!! The Buzz Skinner award is presented to the team that raises the most money in honor of Raleigh native Buzz Skinner, who was an avid fisherman and devoted family man who lost his battle with cancer in October of 2010. This years winner was team "All-in", with total money raised in excess of $42,000!! I knew Buzz and have have known his children for a long time as well, and to see this award presented in his honor was very special. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Great work to team "All-in" and all the other teams who competed this year. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, for the fishing.....or the attempt.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Generally, the tournament is an offshore affair, with the gulf stream the destination and pelagic species the target, however this year was different. The weather turned foul on us and the seas weren't in our favor. Being that 8-10ft seas were expected, as well as the potential for thunderstorms, the committee bent the rules a bit and offshore became inshore. Colder than usual water temperatures also didn't help the bite as many species such as albacore and </span><br />

No</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> matter, bluefish are always a back up, so we hammered the bluefish schools up and down the shoreline. To weigh in, each team needs 3 weighable fish at the end of the day to qualify. Finding fish wasn't our problem at all; once we got into the bluefish schools the bite was on, rather, finding fish that were actually worth weighing was the issue. We caught so many blues in the 1-2lb range it was absurd. Luckily Jimmy caught an albie that was about 8lbs, so at least we were on the board. Although the fishing and weather weren't the best, it was an awesome day partying on the boat with our team, Jimmy Philbin, Hunter Boykin, Robert Paschal, and myself. It was especially entertaining watching all the 60ft offshore yachts clumsily try and avoid each other as they trolled their way up and down the shore for 12 inch bluefish. Until that day I had never seen a captain gaff a 1lb fish before...</span><br />

Last summer (and some of the fall) I frequented my buddy, Kinnison's couch and collected some great footage of early summer fishing for Redfish.</span><div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The new Tetons on the Fly video is a culmination of all the trips last year to Charleston. We set out on many a bleary eyed morning tide with the sole intent to sight fish to active, tailing reds and even on fish-less days, were not disappointed. The entire Charleston and Wando watershed has taught me so much and always reinvigorates my passion for salt water flats fishing. There truly is nothing in fly fishing that can rival sight fishing for active fish, and whether it's a Henry's Fork Rainbow sipping mayflies, a Keys Permit searching for lunch, or a Charleston Red tailing away, the intensity is the same and it's what I crave as an angler or as a guide for my clients. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As it begins to warm up in the spring and the tides shape up, I'll get the itch to see some more spotted tails, but in the meantime enjoy the vid.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I fished the Green the other day with guide friends Dave Smith and Ben Brennan and was not disappointed. Late fall fishing on the Green can be utterly insane it's so good, or it can leave you scratching your head. The day we had was leaning more towards the former. We had perfect weather, got multiple, healthy fish over 21-22 inches and simply put, just killed it. It was yet another great, enjoyable day fishing with buddies and it didn't hurt that Ben got the biggest 'bow I've seen come out of a river (possibly ever) at the ramp.</span><br />

I planned to fish with my buddy Owen Jones and while making some breakfast, Scott Smith buzzes in trying to fish with us too. It worked out perfectly and being that we now had a full boat crew, we made tracks toward Palisades dam.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently headed down to Alcova to camp and fish with my friends Neil and his Dad, Greg, and Bill Durdel. Fishing was decent the first day, but with gusts up to 45mph, we couldn't help but take a step back and just throw in the towel in the afternoon; which really only meant we hung out, shot guns and sipped bourbon....into the night.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next day's forecast looked much more promising and the fishing turned out to be great as well. Cloudy morning, low breeze and hungry fish made for a great day and although we never landed the boss we were looking for, we crushed it. Streamer fishing was absurd.</span><br />

Fishing was not quite as good as last time but it was still a great afternoon and with the Snake leveled off at something like 200 CFS out of the dam, the river is stable and totally set at winter flows. Streamers are still great but the big fish weren't quite as aggressive this time.</span><br />

Schwanny's a pal I used to work with in the fly shop and has since moved back to the NE where he is largely considered one of the greatest fisherman/singer-songwriter/pimp to ever be in the game.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had parlayed a SF canyon trip (video on that coming later...) on Friday into an all weekend Henry's bash with some of my old fly shop friends including Jeff Currier, Granny, Josh Gallivan, Neil Chamberlain, Kyle Somers and, of course, Schwanny. After having an absolutely killer day on the South Fork with big Pat Harrington and Dave Smith, I parted ways and headed up to Last Chance to meet up with my boys. The beer flowed, well, like wine and we partied all night at the Trout Hunter until they gave us the boot.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We fished the Ranch section all the following day after an amazing Trout Hunter breakfast. The fishing on the Ranch is always a challenge and this day was no different, but for a situation I rarely find my self in...too many insects. The Baetis at one point were so thick I couldn't find my fly or even detect a strike to save my life. It was incredible. Such a dense hatch and so many fish rising was really a sight to see. We all eventually caught some nice fish and returned to the Trout Hunter for round two that evening.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next morning Neil and I parted ways from the group and headed south to float the lower Henry's for a couple of days. Sunday on the lower was some of the best streamer fishing I've ever had. Neil blasted the Sirius radio and we caught up on all of our NFL games whilst we laid waste to burly browns and enjoyed cigars on stream. It was a great day.</span></div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Fall's fishing so far has simply been amazing. Everywhere I go, leaves are changing, brown trout are plentiful, and the autumn sun hangs low and provides a spectacular backdrop to this, my absolute favorite season of the year.</span><div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently on a groggy morning after a late-late Brew-pub Oktoberfest, I got a call from my guide buddy Dave Smith to hit up the Snake River dam for an afternoon float. Without hesitation I got my gear together, rubbed the hangover out of my eyes, and met dave after remembering where the hell I had left my car and wallet.....</span></div>

The days seem to fly by at the beginning of fall here and being on the river everyday with great people makes them go even faster. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Jackson Hole One Fly Tournament was a huge success and ran on September 8-9. Given Only one fly per day, teams compete over the weekend to catch big trout on the Snake and South Fork with the guide serving dual purpose as judge. Congrats to one of my great clients, Lewis Lee for winning 3rd place individual angler high score!!! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As always, the One Fly was fun and intense and I can't wait for next years!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Post One Fly is always incredibly busy here and this year was no different. September is usually simply fantastic fishing due to the flows maintaing around 2200 CFS, the cooler mornings and different weather patterns of fall, and the shots at big fish. If you can set the hook on a weary, subtle cutthroat trout strike this time of year, you're typically going to be rewarded with a nice, fat, fall cutty. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had some really great days this summer/early fall on the river with clients and friends alike and to be perfectly honest, although I love my own, personal autumn fishing, I always get a little bummed as it all winds down. With a couple guide days left and a few more possible trips, the season isn't quite over yet and there are plenty of great days left to be had.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Had another great day this week fishing with Mike on Deadman's to Moose. We got an early start and were quickly rewarded with tons of action all throughout the morning. The cloud cover really brought the fish up to dries and provided an nice departure from the intense sun and afternoon heat we've been accustomed to lately.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had some great days fishing the Snake lately. This season has been a superb one so far and I've been super busy fishing with clients. As of late, the big fish have (finally) been more plentiful, accepting of flies and rewarding good drag-free drifts. All over the river, log jams are fishing well and side channels and riffles are also holding nicer fish. Chernobyls, smaller ants and terrestrials are all turning fish along with smaller flies like PMDs, caddis and of course, Adams. After a slow start, the Snake is really starting to fish to its potential and I've been very fortunate to have some great folks in the boat. </span><br />

Tricos provided a near blanket hatch in the morning and early afternoon and fish feed on surface flies hard almost all day. After many nice fish came undone early on, we started to get in the groove and Darcy ended up racking up the numbers. We boated many nice cutthroat between 9-14" with an occasional 16+ giving us the slip. </span><br />

I'm leaving to head back to Jackson in a matter of days so I when Kenny called me late Friday night to get in one last day or two of redfish fishing, I didn't think twice (it didn't hurt that ol' Kenny's Berfday was Sunday and we partied hard, happy berf sooooooooooon!).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I left NC early on Saturday morning and got to Chuck-town around 1 and headed straight out onto the water with Kinnison and his older brother Robert. The tide was shaping up to be best for fishing around 5ish so we had plenty of time to slam beers on the boat. This time around we focused on the waters of Kiawa Island and the many flats surrounding that area. After doing some exploration in a creek adjacent to a $ Kiawa Golf course we headed to a productive flat. As the water flowed in we all hopped out of the boat and waded to what looked like great water. Kinnison's buddy Trent was in another boat within sight of us and was posted up on a decent flat as well. After seeing one fish tailing and not having much of a shot at him I could hear Trent in the distance hooked up with a nice red. Bastard. As it turned out, the tide wasn't quite as big as predicted, not nearly enough water ever made it into our flat and the fishing suffered. Luck was not on our side, but thats how it goes sometimes; we barged up with Trent and hung out until we had to head back.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next day we fished the afternoon/evening tide again and I have to say, it's great to finally be able to fish these "gentlemen's tides." Most of the best tides I've fished typically involve hungover, bleary-eyed skiff rides out to the flats so it's refreshing to get out for an afternoon trip now that the tides are later.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The decision was made to hit up the Wando again as some of the flats in that area can retain tide water for quite some time. We motored straight to a familiar creek, anchored the skiff and hopped out to wade the vast system of relatively hard bottom grass flats. After waiting for for the tide to bring in enough water, the fish tails started popping up. While the first part of the tide proved to be challenging, with reds feeding skittishly and infrequently almost like they knew we were close by, fishing had to get hot soon. Kenny had some decent shots but no takers and soon we realized that our best option was to explore and find more productive water.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We searched the expansive flats for awhile and finally settled on a great looking flat perfectly located beside a deep feeder creek that would hopefully allow fish to stay in the area feeding longer due to the convenient entry and exit point. We couldn't have chosen better, and sure enough, while other flats had receding water and fleeing fish, our spot had plenty of water and happy fish all over. The tails started wagging and the fish started foraging hard. </span><br />

The shots we had at some fish were simply stupid. I had fish tailing happily two rod lengths away at times. On one occasion I was stripping leader to keep up with the red chasing my fly; needless to say, the hookset was not the best handshake I've ever had. All told, I ended up hooking three reds in a matter of one hour and Kinnison landed a nice redfish just as we started losing the light.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the day turned to evening, the sunset brought a fiery glow to the flat and per usual, the fishing instantly turned off just as abruptly as it had started. Stay posted for the video edit from this trip and the many others that I had so far this season down in Charleston; It should be done soon.</span><br />

Fishing has been great in Jackson and I look forward to getting back to some familiar waters and fishing with clients. This season should stack up to be an epic one!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I went back down to Charleston to visit my fishing buddy, ol' Kenny. He used to live in Jackson and has since relocated to SC. He's got a skiff and has acquired quite a bit of know-how when it comes to catching redfish. Catching reds DIY can be frustrating without much local info so wrapping your head around the tides and knowing the best flats are things I leave up to him.</span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This trip we choose to fish some flats close to Mt. Pleasant, just off the Wando. Fishing just off the higher traffic Wando River seems un-productive until you get to some of the flats on the first part of a flood tide; the flats literally come alive with tailing redfish. Standing on the bow just watching the water enter the flat and the exact moment when all of a sudden redfish start to feed is a sight for some eyes that haven't seen tails in quite awhile.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fish were happy for the most part. We must have seen 20 damn reds and had legit shots at maybe 4 of those fish. Kenny got a nice one that wasn't tailing in dense grass like many of the others. There were so many fishing tailing that at one point I was casting to about 3 fish at once. Unfortunately for me, they weren't as receptive and it was hard to present a fly in the dense growth. After some pretty tough days on the flats just seeing all those fish made for a great morning.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After fishing to happy reds for about 45 minutes solid, all of a sudden, the tails disappeared. The tide was finally going back out and our window was closing. The flats we were finding productive were perfectly situated beside deep water creeks being feed by Wando water and must have served as a nice exit once that water began to recede.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Such a sick day to finally see some super active reds!!</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh yeah, the tide was so big the day before that we came back to the ramp to find it gone, and Kinnison's car muffler deep in water. The Ex-ploder's seen better days.</span></div>

It was a slow starting yet fantastic ski season in Jackson! I had some amazing days riding with the Pepi's shop crew and friends throughout the year. Whether it was slinging Kastle's and Krypton's in the shop or out on the mountain, this past season reminded me why it's so great to bum it in the Tetons in the winter. With a slightly below average snowpack and long dry spells intermittently during the season, the goods were had but not quite as often or plentiful as past years. No matter, the weather only justified getting out earlier, touring farther, and exploring a lot of new terrain.</div>

With JH now closed I'm back in NC for the offseason working in Raleigh until the fishing season really gets going in July. Not quite the same here, but it's good to be working instead of hanging around. Sure, my fishing time is getting cut into a bit, but I'll be back in the mountains soon enough. It's also nice to be closer to the beach, and with redfish now taking the place of trout, I'm hoping for an epic saltwater season.</div>

It ain't the Tetons, but damn its just fun to be on the water.</div>

</span></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a long east coast trip and warm weather behind me, the cold fall in Jackson draws me back to the water. After some great days fishing for blues in NC and a fantastic trip to Key West, getting out in the cold of autumn would be a drastic change. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaAZ5YKug3LHUDyWmGaP5qB94r_eL7HD4sPVjitsfml9k4-Squ1RgFaLTtcNgwWtZBlvA68ASr78LiD12FR0HvLwslJ3i62PxekAF7sIXeG3Kr6LVSC9ZoO3NnkCblR5uHL1ARK5Lg00p/s1600/GOPR0163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaAZ5YKug3LHUDyWmGaP5qB94r_eL7HD4sPVjitsfml9k4-Squ1RgFaLTtcNgwWtZBlvA68ASr78LiD12FR0HvLwslJ3i62PxekAF7sIXeG3Kr6LVSC9ZoO3NnkCblR5uHL1ARK5Lg00p/s320/GOPR0163.JPG" width="320" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frigid mornings and dreary weather aside, this time of year offers so many things that summer does not: Fall foliage, hardly any other anglers, and best of all, pissed off browns. The fall weather truly is an ideal time to chase brown trout.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Out of all the rivers and streams in the area, there are few that can compare (or even have enough water to float) to the South Fork of the Snake this time of year. Containing Rainbows, Cuttys, and Browns as well as having such ideal habitat, the South Fork can be world class given the right day. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgZ-dV2xFK2uknezuchBK1KXTTp2cE522Heg9EVM2LJUI0UXjgLQ6oCYNTa2MVUOx5q88tVa2DeplBQykF7CZgwQsd9GpgDzufmG56StDN6FXw1msDYx8Qr3bQjtg7zjeKDQ88y0hW6BD/s1600/GOPR0194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgZ-dV2xFK2uknezuchBK1KXTTp2cE522Heg9EVM2LJUI0UXjgLQ6oCYNTa2MVUOx5q88tVa2DeplBQykF7CZgwQsd9GpgDzufmG56StDN6FXw1msDYx8Qr3bQjtg7zjeKDQ88y0hW6BD/s320/GOPR0194.JPG" width="320" /></a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So with little hesitation, Dave, Bill, and myself headed to the lower SF the other day and were not disappointed. An early start yielded few fish in the morning probably due to the extremely low temps. As the day moved on though, the action got better and better; smaller streamers, larger streamers, even some BWO dries and nymphs seemed to work. At the end of the day though, we were there to fish streamers to big browns. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This nice brown ate an articulated black and red streamer pretty early in the day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

When the action was on, it was on. While it wasn't just "stupid" fishing, all fish were quality fish worth casting to. Slow deep banks and gravel bar inside riffles were the main hot spots.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a great day on the water and was exactly the welcome home I needed. The South Fork, once again, lived up to its reputation.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fly fishing has opened up many doors, forged relationships, and taken me to so many beautiful places, it's time to share that lifestyle.

</div>The Snake is now flowing at 1700cfs, the leaves have changed, and its getting colder. The day seems to move into the evening quickly and the light hangs low in the mornings and afternoons on the water. Fall is transitioning into winter and that means 2 things: </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1- The guide season has come to a close. Thank you to everyone that came out to fish, it was a slow starting, yet epic season and we had a great time in the boat this year! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2- I get to fish. With most clients not wanting to brave the foul fall/winter weather, I get a few months to stick it out before ski season places rods/reels at a lower priority than skis.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With some nice fish boated (all on dries) and tank top tans acquired, I'd call it a success.</span><br />
