My photography is inspired by trying to capture the fleeting images that I experience while fly fishing. It can be difficult to force myself to put down the fly rod and grab the camera, but I am sometimes compelled to do just that.
How To Articles
On any given day, 20% of the water holds 80% of the fish. Learning how to interpret coastal habitats and daily conditions, and understand how gamefish interact with their habitats, goes a long way toward being in the right place at the right time.
Books
In my books I strive to translate fish ecology into angler's terms. I focus on how-to, so that anglers better understand the what, where, and why of fly fishing for coastal gamefish.
Q & A
Readers of the web site are often inspired to email me with questions. Some of those that apply to a wider audience are posted here.
Presentations
I've combined my fishing and research experiences to create six PowerPoint presentations for fly anglers, including:
- The Fisherman's Coast Approach
- Flats 101
- Prey and Flies
- Bonefish
Videos
Sometimes videos are a better medium for sharing the fishing experience or communicating important aspects of fishing the flats.
- Fish videos (aka Fish Porn)
- Instructional videos
Fly Tying
From inspiration to implementation, creations of feather and fur to fool a gamefish into eating an impression of food.
- Fly Tying Philosphy
- Fly Pattern Recipes

Research
Understanding the ecology of coastal fishes is the focus of my research. This section provides copies of some of my research articles to provide a better idea of what I really do for a living.
Essays
Occasionally, the things that happen in the course of fly fishing inspire me to write it all down and share it with others.
Jetsam
[jet suh'm] noun Goods cast overboard deliberately, as to lighten a vessel or improve its stability in an emergency, which sink where jettisoned or wash ashore.
Travel
Whether as part of my research or a personal adventure, I usually pack a fly rod during my travels. If I get a chance to fish, I often write about it.
The Fisherman's Coast approach focuses on how coastal gamefish interact with their habitats and prey. The more you know about the gamefish you pursue with a fly rod, the more often you'll be in the right place at the right time with the right fly making the right presentation. It's about catching more fish.
