I am the Head Guide for River of Life Farm on North Fork of the White River in extreme southern Missouri.  I also guide on Bryant Creek for smallmouth, the famed White River, AR, and Dry Run Creek below Norfork dam for kids.  I row a Clacka therefor I am.  On grass I cast for distance, not stamina.  I think the olympic ribbon twirlers would make awesome single-handed Spey Casters.  I don’t guffaw at competitive fly fishing.  I am not a silent fly fisherman.  I am a founding father of the Ozark Dead Drifters Society.  My 6 year old and 4 year old can out-fish me….but I am catching up.

I am a wannabe trout bum from the midwestern metropolis of St. Louis.  The nearest trout stream to me is at least a 1 hour drive from my house, but the nearest stream with monster fish is only 4 hours away.  I row a Hyde drift boat, because wading sucks.  I am after the total experience, from the old chick hitting on my fishing buddy in the drive-thru window to pealing off the waders after a 12hr day; you throw in a couple of 25″ trout and that is the shit legends are made of.  I am just as likely to yell “Fish On” as F@#$ on the stream; so chances are i have offended you at one time or another.  I can’t cast worth a damn, don’t fish very well, but I am a legend in my own mind and I am incredibly good looking for a big guy.
