Featured in a issue with Blane Chocklett on the cover

If you are so inclined, take a look a the Feb/March issue of Fly Fisherman Magazine! You will find an article written and photographed my Brian Irwin (www.brianirwinmedia.com) featuring me! If I was to have a “young boy dream” being featured in Fly Fisherman Mag would be it. I am very humbled and appreciative of the opportunity to guide Brian and his delightful wife Darcy. I had the joy of hosting them at the yurts for 3 days back in July. We fished for smallmouth bass along the Androscoggin River. I love these waters and I consider them home. There is no happier place for me than to row and guide clients along its endless runs, pools, and diverse structure.

As a guide and artist it can be unnerving to be in an article. You never know the true light an article will portray until it is written. I have an appreciation for this because I view writing the same as painting. At least the creative process and evolution that transpires with putting words to meaning. When I paint I often start with a specific vision. However as I start the painting it turns into whatever it wants. With this in mind I waited with anticipation. After what seemed like an eternity the article came out! I must say I was amazed my Brian’s thorough approach to the article. He was able to weave history, fame, conservation, nature, and how special these smallmouth on the Androscoggin really are. Without giving up the specifics of the article all I can say is thanks to those at Fly Fisherman and Brian and Darcy. Oh and go get a copy!!!
