I don’t know what it is about bull trout, but I am fully addicted. It could be their elusive nature, and no, I don’t mean they are hard to catch. What I do mean is they are often hard to find. Once you do find them, it can be a […]
A while back I bought the Loon Outdoors Accessory Fly Tying Tool Kit. I had seen this accessory tool kit and wanted to add a few of the tools that were in that kit. It was a better value to get them all at once rather than individually. After spending […]
I like to combine travel with fly fishing. During these adventures, I’ve found that I possess one particular skill, probably not unique to myself. I break rods. Lots of them. I’ve broken rods in all the normal ways. I’ve slammed them in car doors. I’ve damaged them with a sloppy […]
For the avid angler, we have bucket lists of places we hope to go and fish. Recently I had the opportunity to check off another destination from my list; Iceland! My time in Iceland was a blend of fishing and exploring. As much as I love fishing from sun up […]

Does it feel like the whole world is on fire? Too soon? Definitely not a joking matter, but we can’t get a break from the heat waves and fires. Well, minus the rain storm we had last week, hopefully that aided in putting out the Summit area fire. Regardless, we’re […]

If you reside in the western United States, you already know. This summer is a HOT ONE! Many anglers know that when trout rivers get too low and warm, the fishing can go south quickly. Fish aren’t feeding or are seemingly nowhere to be found. Trout are extremely stressed during […]
After weeks of hard work the Fishwest Team is excited to officially announce the opening of our new retail store in Park City, Utah. The brand new Fishwest store is located in the heart of downtown Park City at 540 Main Street. This location represents the first full service fly […]
A great short guide preparing for an Alaskan fly-fishing trip. A broad-shouldered rainbow trout tearing flesh off the back of a decaying king salmon.
