Jim started out as a client many years ago. He became a cherished friend who stays in touch. Thank you, Jim. Your friendship enriches our lives. Due to life’s circumstances, he hasn’t been able to come out west for many years. We miss him but enjoy his frequent emails and photos.
Message from Jim:
Picture from Tuesday afternoon. Big Pine Creek is beautiful. Wide, swift and clear. Difficult to wade. Fishing was tough. Windy and no hatches. I caught the trout in the picture after my 1000th cast. I caught it on a March Brown dry fly , six 16. Nice fish.
Jim and his wife Nancy live with their six year old dog, Tres. She is a beauty!

Posted by Merle. In March, Will McDowell and his son Dylan fished with Jack Mauer, Wapiti Waters. I don’t think Dylan had fished from a boat before. We don’t have photos of the day, but Dylan sent this great postcard as a thank you. It reads:
Jack – I wanted to thank you for the fishing trip. It was a ton of fun & me and my dad learned alot. I won’t soon forget that beautiful rainbow I caught. I hope you have a good spring and a good fishing season. Thanks a lot, Dylan
