The smiles say it all! I had a great time with some amazing people this season. Here’s just a few of the great moments captured in the boat this year. It is hard to see my open water season in Minnesota come to a close but even more excited to see what the 2025 season has to offer. Bookings for my 2025 fishing are now available. If you interested in a Minnesota remote wilderness fishing adventure with me as your guide contact Gunflint Lodge and Outfitters.

This pattern has been on fire this year, so naturally I had to tie up some more 😂. It has also gained a new name, the “Comet”. If you are interested please send me a message for more information. I am more than happy to answer any questions. As soon as I get a good stock it will also be added to my Etsy site. Hope all is well and stay fishy✌️

I found some spare time in my schedule to get out on the water with some family and boy was it a treat! We had an excellent day on the water with a 3 man limit, 20+ walleye in the boat and a mix of bass and pike to add to it. It was an absolutely beautiful day to be out on the water and an even better one for us fisherman.

A custom smallmouth and pike smorgasbord headed out to a good client of mine to fish in the BWCA. These should help with bringing back some great memories 😉

I have openings for July and August! The fishing has been great and there’s a lot of summer left. If you like pike and smallmouth fly fishing you will definitely have a good time in my boat. I also offer walleye and lake trout fishing with conventional gear! This year has been an absolute blast and I hope you’d join my journey. Message me directly or contacting Gunflint Lodge and Outfitters for booking information.

What an excellent two days of fishing with my first fly fishing client of the year! Day one was a smallmouth fishermen’s dream that resulted in a multi species day including a walleye caught on the fly! Day two the client says “I really want some pike”. Me “I have just the place”. Day two ended with a 15+ fish day with fish ranging from 23”-30” and a big one to top it off!These fish won’t be in the shallows for much longer. If you are interested in chasing trophy class smallmouth and pike, NOW IS THE TIME!! You can check for my availability at gunflint.com or contact me directly. Until we meet tight lines ✌️.

Inspired by a good fishing buddy and guide who said this last fall “this is my favorite fly and it’s simply just buck tail tied in strait”. Needing some sparse patterns for lakes in my area, I did just that but had to add a few tweaks of course. With some excellent buck tail from along with hollow flash and fiber and spartan dubbing, here is the final result.
