Gettin' The Goods


We are finally in the midst of a decent storm cycle right now that is bringing us some great snow. Our snowpack and water content has been hovering around 40% of normal, and everyone has been wondering when the dry spell will end. We've finally received some significant snowfall in the past few days all the way down to the valley floor, which is great news for skiers and anglers. It was a powder day today in Teton Village, and tomorrow should be the same. Not too much new on the fishing front right now. Unfortunately, team This Is Fly was not invited back to fish in the Jackson Hole One Fly this year. There were simply too many teams applying for the forty slots, and we couldn't sneak in. We are an alternate, so if anyone bails out, we'll be back in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Make sure to check out Josh Graffam's site at www.tetontrout.com, to view a picture of a 10.5 pound brown trout that he landed in New Zealand last week. It's an incredible fish. Also, my good buddy Brian Hodges has been working on a project in Montana with a friend, getting a new fishing lodge open near Bozeman. Check out http://www.fly-fishing-montana.com/...it's the website for the new Bar Z Riverside Ranch. It's a 10,000 acre working cattle ranch with exclusive access to miles of private water on a variety of streams. It's also within close proximity to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers for those who want to float. It looks great, and can't wait to check it out! Here's an image of me "gettin' the goods", shot by photographer Jeff Diener. More soon!
