On a brilliant winter day over a decade ago, I found myself waist-deep in an intimate coastal stream in Northern California, attached by a thin line to a fierce, strong and determined force — a wild and impossibly beautiful steelhead. I had come to the Pacific Northwest pursuing musical aspirations, but fell deeply in love with the land. The rivers sang a melody truer than any I had heard and the fish were more seductive than any lyric. A vital fire was kindled in me.

Today, I'm a dedicated flyfisher and conservationist. My thoughts focus on the relationship between the human spirit and our too-quickly-vanishing wilderness. My creative efforts are devoted to capturing in words and images fleeting encounters with fish, water and light. On the journey I have found a world of magic, drama and mystery — a complex, interdependent web that I believe is soul-sustaining for all who pause, look and listen.

I invite you to explore my site and share in the compelling story of steelhead and their rivers.

Follow the links at the top to acquire a signed copy of my book Found in a River; purchase a print or license the use of a photo; join me on a steelhead flyfishing expedition to British Columbia; discuss a design project. Or if you simply want to exchange ideas, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards & good fishing,

Jeff
