Where we fish…
I relish all aspects of fly fishing; the preparation, the hunt, the take, the camaraderie and even the occasional mayhem. With 3 decades in the sport, I have developed a more meaningful satisfaction in sharing all of these elements. True fly fishing joy is not solely based on the size or quantity of fish caught and most certainly is not limited to elite anglers. We have fun in spectacular settings, we build relationships and memories far beyond a single day or fish.
This is why I host, guide, and explore.

Fly Fishing is Knowledge, Listening, Preparation, and Relationships. I invite you to join a hosted fly fishing adventure…
A successful fly fishing adventure begins long before we arrive. I draw upon many years of travel experience and in turn apply what I have learned in creating an itinerary that best suits the needs and requests of my individual clients. As your host, my objective is to create a positive fly-fishing trip that matches your aspirations and expectations.
Extensive correspondence and logistical planning precede the actual travel dates. This, in its most basic terms usually involves working with and confirming all Transfer requirements when in country, coordinating with lodges, guides and staff as well as providing extensive and accurate up to the minute general pre trip information. Remember the 6 ‘ P’s ‘…….. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance !! While I cannot control the weather and the seasons, I do know how best to put my clients in position for success.
What does “hosted” mean? Why join Greg on a hosted adventure?
“Hosted” simply means that I join you on the trip for logistical and technical support. When traveling to remote foreign locations there can be communication and travel challenges, so it is extremely helpful to have a host that knows the program well and has all the crucial contacts of the persons on the ground should there be a sudden and unexpected need. As your host, my primary objective is to provide a convenient and direct link to all aspects of the fishing and lodging program at your chosen destination. It can include many things— helping lodge be informed of personal needs outside the group dynamic, providing angler information to help guides and lodges with their daily planning, working with guides, fly fishing instruction, communications, pairing you with the right partners, etc.—basically my job is to make things smooth, productive and fun.
Single Anglers & New Friends
For single anglers, signing up for a solo lodge trip it can be overwhelming. Sure, some prefer this solitude; most would rather share the experience with others. On my hosted trips, I bring singles and groups of anglers together. This means that you never show up and are the only client there. This translates into cost savings and a generally more enjoyable adventure. I mean, it’s kinda hard to brag about fish to yourself!
This has been very successful in the past creating lasting friendships that continue far beyond this isolated single booking.
Travel Consulting (Un-Hosted)
Not all trips are personally hosted by me. I also consult on fly fishing travel and work with a number of guides, lodges and booking agents that I personally know. Every angler has a different level of experience and comfort with traveling to often wild locations and it is my goal to help insure their success whether booking with me or with other parties.
The Promise
We cannot control mother nature or the unpredictability of the seasons but we can control the actual experience once at our chosen destination. This is where I plan to deliver on all my promises and guarantees to ensure each of my clients are able to personally benefit from 30 year dedication to international fly fishing.
I have fished professionally in some of the worlds greatest fisheries. I own, guide and have managed lodges in a wide range of destination travel programs both saltwater and fresh, providing me a unique hands on perspective on designing individual travel programs.
I select my favorite times of year to fish at tested destinations and locations. My goal: to introduce my guests to great fishing, ensure expectations are met, with a personal goal to exceed those expectations wherever possible.. When you join one of these hosted trips, I will provide instruction and access to the information I have garnered over my career while fly fishing the worlds flats, oceans and rivers.
Consider this a personal invitation. Let us get together and put all our time and effort into maximizing the opportunity, and fishing. You will not regret it.

“Thirty-three years, and the excitement equals the first take.”
The journey always has—and always will—include a path to water. Each step towards it, each cast in it and each strip of the fly fuels my very existence. Now, I have reached a wonderful place in my career where my own desire to fish is surpassed by an eagerness to share experiences and knowledge of the sport. I hope to create great memories, ignite passion, instill commitment and demand sustainability of this wonderful sport of ours we call Fly Fishing.
