Copper River Lodge guide Nick English hooked up with us in Smithers B.C. for a couple of days of steelheading before heading back to the States. After a fruitless day on the Bulkley Nick and girlfriend Kaylin decided to fish with us on the Kispiox. After being pointed in the direction of a couple of pools by Scott Schumacher, Nick landed this incredible buck measuring 45″ x 25″ with an estimated weight of 37lbs. HOLY CRAP!!

My 10th year (1998-2008) in Mongolia and can’t wait to go back for more.  I’ve handled many 50″ plus fish over the years but I have never seen the elusive 60 incher.  But as things would go the newest guide in our staff Alejandro Bianchetti (head guide at Villa Maria, TDF) would land one in his second week guiding.  All I have to say is what a prick!!!!! Good job Ale and Grif Towle the angler of the year.  Hey Grif you should look happier your holding a 60 incher!!!!

Shop Joey Turns Fish Guide

Shop Joey Zach Pierce completes his first summer of guiding on the Nushagak River and King Salmon River in Alaska. The Nushagak River is located in southwest Alaska, beginning in the Alaskan range and flowing into Nushagak Bay, an inlet of Bristol Bay. Guiding for legendary outfitter Dave Egdorf, Zach had an amazing summer catching big rainbows and wasn’t fired, didn’t kill any clients so the summer was a success. Zach owes all of his achievements to his legendary mentors in Livingston: Dan Vermillion and Dave (FBI) Goff. Nice job guys!

Guide Kris Kennedy tests his luck.

Mongolia 08′

My whole guide career I have heard about the phenomenon of women anglers, their pheromones and big fish. Frequently told is the story of the Salmon camp nine anglers one of which is a woman and without failure the largest take is that of the woman angler.
Well so far this season it has been no different at the Taimen camp. Statistically not well represented (3 of 24 anglers) the women were able to land the largest two Taimen taken thus far in 2008. First was by Michelle Gauthier a 53″ taken in low light with a black skated Verminator. And the second by Marles Frankman a 57″ caught sight fishing with a green and white deceiver. Kudos ladies and keep the Mojo flowing.
