It's official. My first winter of retirement from guiding is past. I have to admit I really miss being on the rivers every day, the lifestyle and most of all my friends and clients. However, I got to fish more this winter than the past 3 years combined!
I was free to fish and explore my briefly open home waters in an old school fashion while testing new patterns and gear.
Being on the river was really good for the soul and the creative process. I was free to fish the waters as I see them. Spending time on my home waters in resulted in a VERY satisfying scrambling of a nine year itch.
 To say the least it has been a productive time. I have worked with Aqua Flies to design and release a new hook called the AquaTalon Swing Hook . We also came out with and a whole series of the highest quality shanks I could conceive of.  Released the Mini Dirty Hoh series and the Ultra Squid series this last winter and perfected the new Ultra Rig. And to round out my busy spring, I am finalizing an Alaska trout series.
Looking forward to this summer and working with some local shops. I have plans to attend a few spey claves, I will be offering fly tying classes as well as casting and fishing classes. Of course there will be swinging in some local waters and hanging out with family and friends. Â
There are some new patterns and riggings to share with the steelhead community. I have plans to do online step by step instructions and videos to explain things clearly. It's looking to be a fun and productive summer. So stay tuned for some good stuff and check out the website for new products for that summer trip and tying projects.Â
And don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions .
Have fun out there.Â
Cheers

Ever since and i my husband met, I have always done my best to do right by him and be by his side. After some years of being married to him, trouble kept looming and unknown to me, much people around him never wanted us together. At first, my husband was tolerant and understanding but when we had our second child, everything changed. I found out that there is a family close to his that wanted him married to their daughter. He was in a mess and out rightly making moves to end our marriage. I knew from here I needed help to save my marriage with him. I wasn’t ready to be a single parent. Dr Isikolo came in and helped me. He bonded my husband and I together forever and also ensured the plans both families had to ruin my home, never worked out. I will thank him as long as I live. The good thing about his works is that the results always starts manifesting after two days and it never fails. I am sure and honest that Dr Isikolo can savage any situation and help you with whatever problems you are having that needs to be fixed.

My worst experience in the cryptocurrency sector was losing my Bitcoin to an investment scam, not until ALPHA RECOVERY EXPERTS came in to help me recover my money.

I had tried several times before and, unfortunately, encountered people who took advantage of me, leaving me disappointed and discouraged. When I learned about Priest Alaska, I decided to contact him and share my situation. For the first time, I felt truly heard and treated with understanding. I decided to take a chance after receiving guidance from Priest Alaska; at the time, I never imagined how much my life would change. I longed for a major financial breakthrough, so I chose to remain hopeful and follow the advice I received. When I finally discovered that I had won $80 million in the lottery, I was completely stunned and overwhelmed with emotion. It was a moment I will never forget. The news brought immense happiness to my family and me, opening the door to opportunities I had previously only dreamed of. I am deeply grateful for the encouragement and guidance I received during that time. After enduring so many prior disappointments, I am simply happy to find myself in a much better situation today. Thank you, Priest Alaska, for the support and guidance you provided throughout this journey. If you are interested in receiving spiritual guidance regarding your hopes and goals, you can contact Priest Alaska to request his services.

I came across Priest Alaska and decided to seek his guidance. I shared my story openly and explained how much I wanted to win back my wife and save our marriage. He listened patiently and made me feel understood just as I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. Over time, and thanks to the work Priest Alaska did, I began to notice changes in my situation. The distance between my wife and me started to close, communication became more frequent, and the coldness that had existed between us gradually faded away. Then came the moment I had longed for: my wife returned to me and was willing to give our marriage another chance. Having my wife back in my life means more to me than words can express. Now we are moving forward step by step, rebuilding our connection and creating a better future. My experience reminded me that when a relationship goes through a rough patch, it is important not to lose hope. Seeking guidance and spiritual support can help you find a positive path forward.
