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 […]
