Maybe folks should vocalize their opinions of his behavior when he is seen "guiding " on the Cowlitz or anywhere else. I'm sure most of his clients are not aware of his crimes, educate them. There are lots of reputable guides out there who could use their business. Bob R

1. Commits Social Security fraud, stealing from all of us.
2. Commits intentional ESA violations, stealing from all of us.

Not sure what more information I need to form an opinion about him as both a man and a person.

Fish on...

I'm pretty sure he is done for good (well at least for now) this time... his FB and webpage have both completely vanished without a trace.

A quick internet search makes your post irrelevant, if not plain stupid.

He's been convicted.. that's a little bit past the heard on the internet mark....

Playing the devils advocate, from the above article, I'm not seeing where welfare fraud comes into play- it only says he was denied in '06 or whatever. Did I miss something there?

Any guide who would jeopardize his livelihood by keeping illegal fish is a moron... Why would he post incriminating pictures online?

I think you answered your own question.

He was found guilty of perjury, wire fraud, and Social Security fraud that spanned an eight year period. The reason he was denied is because he made blatantly false statements, then he took it to court and lied about it more under oath to a Judge's face.

This guy is a lowlife POS of the illest sort. I seen him on the Columbia years ago before this Cowlitz clipping sh!t ever happened, getting busted by the Oregon State Police for filleting out a Chinook Jack to conceal it's wild status. I just saw that b!tch Swanny, last week on the Big C downstream of the I-5 bridge, with a boat full of people. Who still fishes with this guy?

This DH should never be able to wet a line again. I hope he get's at least 5 years in the joint.
