Steam rose from the coffee pot and the sunrise glistened off the bay as we pulled away from the dock, with the whole crew ready for an exciting day of fishing. After a great day on the water and conducting interview segments with my client, the captain of a fishing charter business and his happy […]
When my phone rang, I had no idea where the conversation would take me… After I indulged myself with a hot cup of strong coffee and a quick currency exchange, my guide for the next 10 days grabbed my bags and we headed for the 4×4 SUV. Our drive led us through small villages where […]
Today, I’m sitting on the end of a dock entranced by the ripples created by the comfortable breeze and the bright sunshine. Over my shoulder in the western sky, late summer thunderheads are building and white egrets are shrimping. This setting makes me think of a question I hear often, “How did you get here?” […]

Watching the sunrise and moonset within moments of each other is something special. Witnessing this while sipping coffee and floating 100+ miles off the pacific shores of Costa Rica adds a little something extra. No land in sight, only sea and sky. Oh, and then we hooked up with the first blue marlin of the […]
As the morning sunlight crept across the canyon walls, trout sipped on flies from the slab of liquid flowing towards my classroom in Missoula. Then, after a few hours of tight lines, big smiles, and lots of visual explosions for the camera, my time in the wild came to an end. I packed my gear […]
