East Branch Brownie

Taken just above Peas Eddy, East Branch, Delaware River;

Photo, Ben Rinker; This fish was rising in shallow pocket water along the right bank , almost downstream to the bridge. I missed him several times before I was able to come tight. Great battle and a very satisfying moment – one of so many with Ben.

L.I. Sound, Sherwood Island

An October day I was in the right place at the right time. Standing in the middle of a run of schoolies, took over 50 fish. Pure joy watching them whack the fly on almost every cast.

Margaree, 2019

“Airborne”

2019, the morning of Hurricane Dorian. The3 outer “bands” of the storm had already begun to push through. Robert Wood and I, along with guide Robert Chiasson, fished the “Tidal” pool on the Margaree. I was able to take this sweet fish early on before the storm rolled in.

Margaree Chrome

From the “Wash”

Margaree Forks, Cape Breton, 2018; Sea-liced and silver, they don’t get much fresher than this – perhaps only a day from the ocean. My smile tells it all.

East Branch: The riff behind Ray Turner’s

Ben Rinker and I hudled under the knotweed on a June morning in a surprise downpour. This is one of my favorite riffs on the East Branch. It’s a big-fish magnate, ‘bows and browns alike. It also houses the last working eel-weir on the river. Ray’s smokehouse offers some of the best smoked eel anywhere.
