I could say the simple mission statement that Fish For Garbage provides opportunities for civic engagement & stewardship of waterways by hosting river cleanups, educating individuals about the harmful effects of riparian trash as pollution, and demonstrating the need for healthy ecosystem services but this is one verse to a […]

The other day a friend of mine was telling me about his first negative encounter with another angler. He and a friend got up stupid early in hopes to be the first fisherman on the water. His hopes were dashed when he saw an SUV already parked where they planned […]
Every year bull trout begin their arduous journey up river towards their spawning grounds. Depending on the distance required to travel, this can begin in the early spring all the way up into the fall. Bulls can travel hundreds of miles from their wintering habitat, traversing looming waterfalls and snaking […]
I was first interested in Trout Spey in the spring of 2017. At the time, I had visions of twirling beautiful loops in the sky with my single hand 5WT weight and tossing them miles into the air to land across the river for the perfect swing. I was convinced […]
My first choice would have been some bonefish flat, but instead, Deb and I pulled into the Super 8 in Livingston, Montana. It was the night of December 28th, and our ultimate destinations were Big Sky and Yellowstone. Nevertheless, the Livingston Super 8 is a huge bargain in the winter […]

This past summer, my partner Deb and I toured through Eastern Europe, and I sampled some of the fly fishing available along the way. In earlier blog articles, I recounted my experiences in Estonia and Croatia. This article will focus on Slovenia. As far as I can tell, Slovenia is Europe’s […]
As the dust from the 2018 edition of the IFTD show in Orlando there is plenty to reflect on. The 1st of which, is the fact that this is the swansong for the IFTD show being a part of a much larger ICast showcase. Even though IFTD and ICast are […]
I’m the first to admit, I have a dad bod. I’m short and shaped like a blueberry muffin that you squished and tossed in the trash can. I try to work out when I can, but the allure of a cold beer keeps this body softer than the love tissues […]
