2009 Jackson Hole One Fly

I received notice a few weeks ago that I will be fishing in the Jackson Hole One Fly this year. Good friend and fishing client John "H-bomb" Holland put together a team and applied last fall. Along with John Wiley and Peter Chung, they kindly invited me to fish with them. After years of guiding in it, I am thrilled to now have a chance to fish in it! I'm already looking forward to it and cannot wait. We will be team "This Is Fly", partially representing the fabulous online fly fishing magazine. The One Fly is an invitation-only event that raises thousands of dollars each year to put towards local stream improvement projects here in Western Wyoming and Southeastern Idaho. Teams of four fish over two days with the limit of only one fly per day, per angler. Founded by Jack Dennis and Paul Bruun in the 1980's, it has turned into a large foundation for stream improvement and the valley's best know fly fishing event each September. Make sure to visit their website at http://jhonefly.org/ The weather here is slowly getting nicer, with warmer valley temps each day, and less snowfall in recent weeks. Fellow guide Josh Graffam waded on the Henry's Fork a couple of days ago and said he did quite well on nymphs, netting a half-dozen nice rainbows. Here is a nice shot of "one fly" from the Big Hole River, Montana...a nice size 12 mother's day caddis. More soon!
