I am currently getting ready to spend the summer guiding flyfishermen/and women in the Katmai Region of Southwest Alaska. I'll be at Enchanted Lake Lodge through the end of September. After that, it's back to Durango where I'll continue guiding for the remainder of the season for Animas Valley Anglers. check out www.gottrout.com and www.enchantedlakelodge.com I'll upload some travel pics once my journey to Alaska is underway. enjoy
