With 2015 ending we at Fishwest have been reminiscing on all the new experiences, species, good times with friends and adventures we’ve been on this year. I think I can speak for all of us when I say this was a stellar year on the water for the staff, here […]
As I prepare to break out my shiny new 2016 calendar here at Fishwest, I am excited for another visit to the Deneki Andros South Lodge in February. In order to get further prepared for the trip (or for any saltwater trip for that matter) I wanted to talk about […]
I’m very excited to start working with Fishwest on a regular basis. I seem to have convinced the powers that be at Fishwest that I can not only write well, but deserve to get a special column and press release all about it. I’m not quite sure how I pulled […]

The aptly titled “Cutthroat Chronicles” will bring readers the best in gear reviews, industry news, fly fishing tactics and so much more. Learn more about the Utah based author Spencer Durrant by reading below. Stay tuned […]
Lake trout are a tough catch for most float tubers. They often frequent depths beyond the easy reach of fly tackle. They also tend to inhabit very large lakes. A lot of things have to come together to pull a laker up to your tube. So when my friend Rob […]

I’ve used just about every gear storage system imaginable for my time on the water, from the classic vest, to techie vests, to lanyards, and hip packs. I even had a terrible experience with a sling pack, which is the only option I ever actually gave up on because I […]
In a few months time Fishwest will be hosting our annual trip to the Andros South Lodge and let’s just say some of us are pretty excited! In an effort to get the ball rolling we wanted to talk about an important part of the equation: Fly Selection. Selecting flies […]
A mist hung above the river. A crisp October morning greeted us as we loaded gear into the drift boat. Indian Crossing beach was silent except for the Green River splashing against the stern. We saw no cars in the parking area. It appeared the C- Section was just for […]
I followed a narrow path casting miscellaneous brush aside until it opened to the water. A few weeks back there had been a contamination warning from the EPA and the river had been temporarily closed. The water wasn’t exactly muddy, it was like copper and caramel, made you think of […]
