Kamchatka Fishing Adventure

1993 – 1997

Large male Rainbow Trout landed on the Upper Left Fork in a run I called the Lava Beds. Note the mouth full of weeds. After being hooked with one of my Antelope Hair Mice patterns, it put on a great fight ending with trying to rub me off in the weed choked, underwater lava crevices.
This is a typical example of the Sea-Run Khundza (aka. White Spotted Siberian Char). My longest was a 39″ hen and a client landed a 42″ beast shaped like a big Steelhead. Not jumpers and total suckers for a well swung steamer.

  Thanks to my ol’ buddy George Cook of Sage Fly rods, I got to be a part of the first joint venture on the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the Russian Far East. I guided George at Alaska West in 1992 and also hung out with him at Sports Shows – like a groupie). The first season started on April 18, 1993 on the Zhupanova River. I was able to stay after the clients left in late August and fish the river until the 15th of October to map out the Fall fishery.  
An average length Rainbow Trout caught on the Zupanova River throughout my five seasons. 24 1/2″. Notice my custom made Russian cap that I traded some magazines for. Shed rain like magic and looked pretty cool with Spey Rod in hand.
The Russians liked my work ethic and wilderness skills and I was invited back for the next four seasons to guide and manage Cedar Lodge on the Zhupanova River. The last two seasons I was able to manage my Russian staff without the aid of an interpreter, thanks to my new found language skills which were good enough to get me in trouble and good enough to get back out of it!

Alaska West

1990 – 1992

Guided at the original Alaska West camp in the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge at Fox Bar, on the incredible Kanektok (CHOSEN) River in Western Alaska. This was back when the founder, John Garry still owned and operated the camp. He had also founded and built the famed Bristol Bay Lodge.

Guiding Oregon

1980 – 1984

Hosmer Lake and a freshly planted land-locked Atlantic Salmon landed from one of the very first of two float tubes in Oregon waters circa 1979 (Glenn’s was the other). We both had this ‘Mountain Trader‘ float tube which utilized a big-rig ‘truck inner tube’ as the bladder, which was not included and you hunt one down from the local tire shop. It weighed at least twice as much at today’s float tubes, but never failed me during hundreds and hundreds of hours of use.
Cut my teeth on guiding and teaching fly fishing with my family and friends. Got braver and ran a handful of trips for a local shop, doing walk-n-wade trips, along with some float tube trips. Decided I needed a real career and gave it up to focus on College. The spring that I was finishing my undergraduate degree, Glenn invited me up to Portland, Oregon for the biggest annual sports show in PRI to meet some lodge owners that were interviewing for summer guide jobs. So instead of going after a masters program offered to me, I headed off to remote Western Alaska for the summer instead.
