Just returned from a trip down to Baja, Mexico. More to come on this one and it’ll be focused on Jef Feczko who is a guide in Baja and is the closest thing to a Roosterfish ninja as I’ve ever seen. Here’s Jef’s Instagram handle: @tothegills

New work in The FlyFish Journal issue 13.3 that just came out. Both images are from a trip to Magdalena Bay last December that was super high-octane-intensity and crazy fun. Pumped to be heading back (Los Locos Mag Bay) this December with Costa.

Just returned from a great trip to Patagonian BaseCamp in Chile. I’ll be hosting a few weeks here during the 2022/23 season. Anyone interested should reach out to me soon as BaseCamp books up fast.

I will be hosting two separate trips to Honduras this upcoming spring. The first is to Faraway Cay in the Mosquito Coast region of southern Honduras. This is an adventurous trip in a very remote part of the Caribbean. I am looking for up to 5 total people to join me. At least one slot has been taken. It’s an insane permit fishery with many many bonefish as well. This is a once and a lifetime type trip coupled with the fishery having not been fly fished for over two years.
Faraway Cay: April 29 — May 7, 2022
The second trip is to Fly Fish Guanaja. This will take place the week of May 14-21, 2022 This is a fantastic trip to one of Honduras’ 3 bay islands. Permit and bonefish are the staples w bonefish around in that double digit range.
$3,750 per angler with shared skiff and double occupancy for the week. 6 full days of fishing.
Below are a few images taken from Fly Fish Guanaja:

I spoke with the So Fly crew a week or so ago and our conversation about fly fishing and travel photography is now live. You can find it in a bunch of places including Spotify. Here’s a link to So Fly
Below is an image I took of the Sawtooths yesterday (12/24/2021). It is now available as a print.

I submitted work to The Perspective Awards travel competition a month or so ago. It was judged by Jody MacDonald whose work I have admired for years. I’m honored to have won this competition with an image I took while free diving with sharks last May in Jardines de La Reina, Cuba.
Here is what Jody had to say—“Photographing underwater when a lot is going on around you is tricky, especially when you have a shark swimming right at you. I really liked this photo because the photographer is in a challenging environment with a lot of excitement and energy and yet he still managed to get a photograph that had good timing, spacing, and composition. The fact that it is in black and white makes the sharks stand out and gives emotion to the image.”

Cover Image for issue 13.1 of The FlyFish Journal
Below are a few images that appear in the new issue—13.1—of The FlyFish Journal.
The above was shot in Guanaja, Honduras.

Pumped to have the cover image for the new issue of The FlyFish Journal. This image was shot on Silver Creek this past May—before the fishing season opened—when there was a pretty consistent PMD emergence for a few weeks. Shot with the Nikon 200-400 ƒ4 lens.

Keko, pictured below, was my guide on my first trip to Cuba about 9 or so years ago. He was also my guide on my recent trip back to Cuba in May. I was part of the second group he had guided this May after 14 plus months of zero work due to Covid.
To say life for him and his colleagues during Covid was a challenge is an understatement. With essentially no income he shot birds using small allotments of time he was allowed outside of the house. Family and neighbors shared and pooled what little they had to eat…
“Things have been very very difficult,” Keko told me one night on my trip. He wasn’t asking for sympathy. I had asked what it was like going jobless for over a year. He was guarded and I knew that. Too much disclosure can lead to jail time.
I hope that guiding for him offers some relief both financially and psychologically. Unfortunately, Cuba is still on a tight lockdown and he’s undoubtedly not able to guide much until Cuba gets vaccines. The Cuban people want them and need them but are not yet readily available.
