dave's Story
I've been living in Hailey since 1979 after a 7 year stint living near a glider port near Pearblossom, Ca. I was a sailplane instructor but my main soaring passion was flying cross country and competitions. During that time period I had a business going that only took two days of my time so that allowed me to pursue my soaring adventures.
I married an English woman in '77 and in 1979 we moved to Hailey. We both hated the congestion of the LA area and Idaho offered none of that. Unfortunately, I had to sell my glider to purchase a house but my soaring days didn't end there as I tagged up with the local glider port and did some rides over Sun Valley Resort as well as some instructing.
Hailey is a small town 1...Expand for more
1 miles south of the ski resort. The area is a huge playground if you like to fish, camp, hike mountains, and ski. Fly fishing was always a favorite for me, even in the LA area, so in '84 I started guiding "Pilgrims"
here in Idaho or I'd spend the summer guiding in Alaska.
Currently I'm a property manager for an apartment complex in Hailey.
April, 2015 i retired and rented out the Hailey house and moved to Homosassa, Florida. I bought a place on Mason creek which is a smallish water way that leads to the Gulf of Mexico and some great fly fishing for giant Tarpon as well as Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout. And my view is of the Chassahowiska National Wildlife Refuge...never to be spoiled by development!
