After some skiing at Red Lodge, Montana over the holidays, we stopped in at the Bighorn River, which is not too far south of Billings. A couple years ago, we heard rumors of great Christmas fishing and wanted to check it out. It was January 2, the sun was shining, […]
Just a quick note to say congratulations to Marc Payne. He just secured his first book contract. It will be a comprehensive look at fishing in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The book is slated for release in 2014. Marc credits Fishwest as his first “writing gig” and we […]
I recently returned from my second saltwater trip and let me start off by saying my second saltwater experience greatly outweighed my first.

The passage of time is a peculiar thing. It seems that if we are involved in something we don’t particularly like, the seconds pass thick and slow with now rhythm or pace, everything is laborious and clunky. Then there are days when we are so full of what we enjoy […]
A cruise ship is an excellent way to get teenagers into the outdoors and also fly fishing! This past summer, my 15 year old daughter and I boarded the Norwegian Sky for a 3 day/4 night Bahamas cruise. We swam with dolphins in Nassau, kayaked through mangroves on Grand Bahama […]
