According to an e-mail we received from Conway this was the pinnacle of his guiding career.

I'm not talkin' 'bout pleasure boatin' or day sailin' I'm talkin' 'bout workin' for a livin' I'm talkin' 'bout sharkin'!

MidCurrent reports on the first Great White taken on the fly by Jeff Patterson of Abel.

Ocean fly-fishing guide Conway Bowman has stared into the eyes of giant mako sharks as he unhooked a fly from their toothy jaws, but he felt compelled to do more after his client Jeff Patterson hooked a great white shark Friday off La Jolla.

“We took the fly out and both patted it on the head,” said Bowman, who owns Bowman Bluewater, a guide service that covers the ocean and local lakes. “This was a catch of a lifetime.”
