On a lighter note, @o-nerka.bsky.social has become quite the stick. Couple of fish from this week of Black drum (P. Cromis) & Red Drum (S. Ocellatus) #flyfishing #saltwaterflyfishing #texascoast

Little R&D on James’ new homebrewed casting platform. I’m super impressed with it. #flyfishing #guidesdayoff #redfishonfly

After severing ties with all meta apps the only social media I’m on is here. If anybody needs a break from reality, I still have dates available to fish through June. Hyper fixation on tailing fish always makes me feel better. #flyfishing #redfish #texascoast

Thankful for the great people in my life and Huff Marine for helping me get the skiff back up and running.
Books are back open and I am booking through the end of may until I return to Alaska for the summer season!

Thanks to all my friends and clients this year. From Texas to Alaska, if we’ve fished together you’ve helped make my year a good one. #flyfishing #flyfishingguide

It was not a pretty sight yesterday

That’s right, there’s 5 outboards in that Beaver.

I was pretty proud that we’d crammed them all in there, with Charlie’s approval, of course. #flyout #alaska #flyfishing #dhc2 #beaver

Gloomy day here on the TX coast. Need some better weather so @o-nerka.bsky.social can get back out on the skiff again. #redfishonfly #flyfishing #redfish

If you don’t know, I’ve been a guide ambassador on Trout Unlimited’s Save Bristol Bay campaign for a few years now. The fight against large scale industrial mining in Bristol Bay is not over until we establish permanent protections for the region through an act of congress.
