Artist and good friend, AD Maddox created this Adams fly just for us to use with our new Wolfe Outfitters logo. We’ll be using her artwork, and adapting it for the new logo.

All the way from California
This gentleman came all the way from California, to fish with Traverse City Bass for 4 full days. Glen is completely blind, and was still able to manage to fish very effectively and efficiently. There were lots of laughs, lots of fun, and just as importantly, lots of fish. Captain Ben Wolfe was able to get Glen out on both West and East Grand Traverse Bays for each day of fishing.
Wow!
Morgan, from Charlevoix, Michigan, caught this giant smallmouth while fishing out on Grand Traverse Bays with Captain Ben Wolfe and Traverse City Bass Guide Service. Wow, what a toad!!!
First!
Wolfe Outfitters fly fishing guide, Matt Dunn, with his very first lake trout. Way to go Matt! Hopefully there will be plenty more fly caught lakers in Matt’s future.
Gallatin River Lodge
If you ever happen to find yourself in the Bozeman, Montana, area and in need of a place to stay, I would highly recommend the Gallatin River Lodge. A wonderful western-style lodge, the Gallatin River Lodge is everything I could ever want in a lodge or hotel. Nestled in the Gallatin Valley, snow-topped mountains cap stunning scenery surrounding this small lodge in Big Sky country. Continue reading
Talking steelhead with John Simms
On my recent trip to Montana to attend the Simms Ice Out Guide Event, I had the great pleasures of speaking a couple of times with John Simms, the founder of Simms Fishing Products. The first was over a relaxed drink in the sun with John and his wife at the Gallatin River Lodge. Although John is no longer the owner (he sold the company to KC Walsh), it was a real treat to talk with him about his life, hear some of his many stories, and share with him my own thoughts and stories.

Simms event
I recently attended the Simms Ice Out Guide Event in Bozeman, Montana, and had the great fortune to not only meet some fantastic people, but to be surrounded by similar-minded fishing nuts. Continue reading
Gas Pricing—The frustration
Fuel prices are creeping higher and higher, yet prices are something that we all have to deal with, and running a couple of busy fishing guide businesses means more time at the gas pump than I’d like. Maybe I should have invested in buying an oil company instead of boats! Continue reading
AD Maddox
I’ve been a big fan of the artwork of AD Maddox for quite a few years now, and I’m lucky enough to be able to also call AD a friend. My wife and I have several of AD’s originals in our home, which we both absolutely love.
I am proud to announce that my coffee company, Deep Blue Coffee Company, has recently created a new coffee offering called The Angler’s Blend, and adorning our new blend is AD’s work. I cannot express how excited I am to be collaborating with AD on this, and I firmly believe that this coffee blend is as fantastic as the artwork represented on The Angler’s Blend label.

Our Deep Blue Coffee Company
I love coffee. No doubt about it. And good thing too, since I own a coffee company, Deep Blue Coffee Company. One of the true joys of owning this company is being able to share what I feel are incredible coffee blends with other people. And many of these people are my fishing customers. I provide hot coffee for every fishing trip that both of my guide companies operate—Traverse City Bass Guide Service and Manistee River Salmon Guide Service. Not only does this allow customers to have a great cup of coffee to begin each fishing day, it provides crucial feedback to me in terms of possible blend refinements and new ways to grow.
