Riffle and Rise

A Fly Fishing Journal

 Welcome to Riffle and Rise

Fish the riffle in the morning and fish the rise in the evening, and somewhere in between, have a few laughs with friends.

The Riffle and Rise web site is an online journal of fly fishing adventures and the continuing saga of Fish Camp. The site features photos, stories, and fishing reports from various fishing trips to great trout fishing destinations during recent years.

This is my third season managing Willowfly Anglers, a full-service fly shop and Orvis endorsed guide service here in the Colorado Rockies. It's been a great couple of years, and I hope to be here for the long term. We'll have a strong run-off this spring and good water through fall. I am looking forward to some awesome fishing in the Gunnison Valley this year.

“The trick to sanity is to keep your secrets, defend what you can, and go fishing.”
