MEN’S SWIFTCURRENT JACKET
New for Fall 2022

It’s always great to see one of your images that’s made it past the cutting floor to a marketing print Ad. It’s a bonus when it’s an image of one of your fishing buddies. This image of Kyle Toyama was taken on a rainy, cold fall day. There were just enough blue-wing olive mayflies to get some fish up. I always have a 70-200mm handy for clients who want a journalistic approach. When dealing with an animal, in the case of fish, you never know when the action will happen; you always have to anticipate the scenario and be ready.

The best way to know what and when to anticipate the action is firsthand knowledge, which comes with experience. In this case, time is on the water fly fishing. I encourage my students in workshops and those I mentor to get out and practice working with their cameras and the craft they want to photograph. It’s a hand-in-hand learning journey that is very rewarding. Anyone can photograph an angler, and often you can get lucky in being at the right place at the right time. But those that know their craft understand where those likely windows of the action are and capitalize on their knowledge.



SWIFTCURRENT JACKET

It’s wild to think this is my 9th catalog with Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures. When I look back and think about all the adventures over the years, it just feels, well, unbelievable. I am very fortunate to work for such a great company, with an incredible team, and long-lasting global friends.

It’s also really nice to work for a company that gives back to the very communities we work in. YDFA created The Yellow Dog Community and Conservation Foundation (YDCCF) in 2016 as a means of providing direct support to communities, fisheries, and ecosystems where great angling is found. In the first five years, YDCCF has granted over $1 million to over 60 projects worldwide, funding projects both large and small that focus on conservation, education and community growth, and resilience.
