While in his pursuit of fly tying excellence Dave entered and won first runner up in the FQSA World Atlantic Salmon Fly tying contest in 1985 and 1986. Dave was also featured in a 2000 edition of Northwest Flyfishing Magazine; in John Sheweys Innovative fly tyer section. Dave’s flies can also be found in the “Idaho Blue Ribbon Waters” book by John Shewey.
He also guides wilderness horse pack trips from time to time that also involve fishing for cutthroat, or hunting deer and elk.
In yet another direction, Dave has attended Mel Kreiger's famous casting school and was a certified Fly Fishing Federation Flycasting Instructor. The list goes on: Dave has studied fly casting under Joan Wulff, worked with school districts to develop fishing programs, and mastered single-handed and spey casting.
Teaming with Ken McGee, Marv Taylor and others, Dave began commercial fly tying in 1977. In addition to owning a Boise fly shop for seventeen years, Dave was the sales and operations manager for “Loon Outdoors” and later managed the “Idaho Angler” fly shop in Boise.
The accolades continued in another facet of Dave's involvement with fishing, as he has guided senators, ambassadors, media personnel, entertainers CEO’s and hundreds of "everyday anglers." Dave’s first guiding job entailed Backcountry Llama Pack trips into Alpine Lakes, fishing for trophy rainbow’s cutthroat and brookies.
Dave’s passion for chasing selective fish has honed his fly fishing skills well. Guiding on Blue Ribbon waters in the west, Dave is blessed to guide on rivers like the Owyhee and Grande Ronde for trophy brown trout, steelhead and smallmouth bass. From clear, slow spring creeks to raging mountain streams and high mountain lakes, Dave is very seldom stumped by the fish found there.
