Before my fly fishing days, I was heavy into mountain biking. One of my dearest friends and MTB buddies is from Lone Pine. Gary’s family owns the Best Western up there and his mom founded the Lone Pine Film Festival and museum. One time Gary, his wife, Tami, and I were heading up to Mammoth for a bi...
It can’t ever be said enough, but my thanks for the people in this amazing community. Through your kindness, Miss Nona 2.0 hit the water yesterday, and now she’s bonafide. A couple of buddies and I dropped into the Great Rift. Temps were below freezing at the start and when it did finally warm (to t...
Well, I’ve always been a restless soul when it comes to getting out and exploring. Wandering Blues is a line from one of my favorite songs of all time, “Littlest Birds.” Take a listen and you’ll understand!
I did very well on the Shoshone River on the east side of the park. We camped outside of the park and I fished most mornings and did well.

I think the folks in Inyo/Mono county have a strong argument for delaying the opener. It’s a hot flippin mess on a normal opener what with tourist inundation. Unless you’re self contained with enough gas to make it there and back (and that disqualifies 99% of folks), there is going to be transient c...
I got out yesterday just to maintain some sanity. Farmed a couple of very nice browns due to rustiness, 6X, and being overly eager. Managed to conjure up some suckers to open my 2020 account. But mostly, I’ve just been a platform upon which the pups have enjoyed sleeping. In their world, coronavirus...
I’m just humbled. In my mind, I figured I’d eventually replace the gear that was stolen, and maybe in a few years, have Greg create a new Miss Nona. What I didn’t figure on replacing was faith in humanity. Having been victimized that many times in such a short period of time had me pretty seriously ...
