As you may have seen, I was lucky enough to be able to travel to South America this past August (August 2017) to fish the Iriri River in Brazil with my best friend. This trip to the jungle was hosted by Untamed Angling. Kendjam is now my favorite trip I’ve […]

Despite all the different amazing waters I’ve fished in my life, one of my favorite stretches of earth is between Bishop and Bridgeport here in California. This area holds a special place in my heart, as it’s where I learned to fish on family vacations growing up. Back then it […]
(A detailed look at my experience with an OPST Commando Head…) Earlier in the spring, I returned to Minnesota – perhaps the walleye capital of the Union – to fish for trout in a small stream. It was a return engagement with the Clearwater River, just outside of Bemidji. A […]
By Dave S When pursuing a fishery or a species you haven’t fished before, many of us turn to local guides to help us quicken the learning curve and to make the most out of the trip. While some people believe that it’s better to figure it out themselves, it’s […]
By JC Weeks Blue water fly-fishing was something that I have heard about for many years but never thought that I would have the chance to do. My two days in the “blue desert” were eye-opening and even though I experienced a little success that trip has me definitely wanting […]
I am no expert, but I would say a couple keys components to great days of fishing are not falling on your butt and not having sore feet at the end of the day. I know I have had days where both have happened for sure. This is why finding […]
Here’s an awesome short by Jeremy Inman from his season up in Alaska showing how the guides relax on their days off. Big trout and salmon on mice and streamers, doesn’t get much better than that. Enjoy!
For the second year in a row I had a chance to take part in the Fishwest trip to the Northern Yucatan town of San Felipe to fish for sabalitos (Spanish for baby tarpon) with the great guides and staff of Yucatan Fly Fishing Adventures at their outfit, the Tarpon […]
This summer I was blessed enough to be able to load my family (including two kids under the age of 5) into the family van and start on the 700 mile drive to Southern California. Driving twelve-plus hours, when you include potty breaks, is ALWAYS (sarcasm) exactly how I want […]

I can never quite put my finger on it, but I always get excited when I know I will be fishing for Westslope Cutthroat Trout. There is something to be said for chasing a native fish in their home streams where they have been for thousands of years. Sadly the […]
Anglers have an interesting way of communicating with each other. Between the many sects and styles, personalities and demographics, we all have one thing in common. As a collective group, we are appreciative of small gifts – early mornings on empty, misty rivers, catching a trout on the first cast, […]
