Favorite place to fish: Stanley area…so many great rivers and lakes to explore.
Favorite fishing tip: Don’t just “jump in’. Take your time observing the river. Are any fish rising? What bugs are evident? What’s my strategy to fish that stretch? Then slowly and quietly enter the river.
Favorite place to fish: Hagerman area
Favorite fishing tip: After you run your line through your guides, give the line a little tug to put a bend in your rod. Look up your rod at all your guides. This is an easy way to see if you missed getting your line through any of your guides.
Favorite place to fish: The Boise River through town because I can fish it often. The Deschutes or the Madison for trips!
Favorite fishing tip: Don’t hesitate to fish with your confidence flies (those flies that you feel work for you regardless of the conditions) even if it doesn’t match the hatch.
Favorite place to fish: White Bird on the Salmon River
Favorite fishing tip: I don’t have any tips, sadly. Just a rookie out having a good time!

Favorite fishing tip: Get on the water as much as possible! It improves skill and knowledge which improves success!
Favorite place to fish: Owyhee River
Favorite fishing tip: If you’ve cast 20 times without a bite, change something!
Favorite place to fish: Owyhee River and Duck Valley
Favorite fishing tip: There’s no wrong way to fish a streamer. Cast it straight across river, cast it up river, cast it down river. Let it swing, strip it back, dead drift it, or jig it.
