Jawbreaker was amazing last Saturday. I’m home, now, recovering from the long trip.

Big system moving in tryna ruin my fall fishing here in the Rockies… hoping for the best, trying to be adaptable. #flyfishing

Big trip coming up! Can’t wait to fish some of the northern NM waters that I missed when I lived there. Stay tuned for reports and pics!

Caught a bunch of these massive westslope cutthroat up on a beautiful creek in BC this summer… best day I’ve ever had fishing, honestly.

Little streams, tiny tails, picking pockets. Some call me a purist and they’re not completely wrong… #flyfishing

I’m gonna do better, Blsky. I promise. The thing is, I went crazy this summer and drove all around the #PNW catching fish and forgot about everything else. #flyfishing has consumed my life. It’s made me even more socially dysfunctional than before. God, I love my life so much.

Good time on the Donner and Blitzen… deep and murky, but I got an 18 incher to eat a Dali Lama. What a fight, too. This thing was an acrobat! Wild redsides! Woohoo!

There were some good times down in Puerto Vallarta... mostly revolving around dinner and sunsets. But overall, the all-inclusive resort scene is antithetical to my entire way of being. I felt trapped most of the week and I'm so happy I'm home.

Just finished up the edits on my article on fishing with Chuck Ragan for Trout Magazine... I'm grateful for the experience and can't wait to do it again. Thanks Chuck!

Finally left my depression den today, felt lifted. I feel like this wall of ice is cracking and falling down and I have more hope today than I have had in months. Thank the universe for psychedelic therapy. #psychedelictherapy

At a recent community breakout session, Corvallis autists had the idea of crating an affinity group. Who’s in?
