Sometimes all you can do is simply stand back in awe and admire a true wordsmith at work. Yesterday afternoon these gems rolled onto a fairly busy comment thread discussing how big Montana trout might actually be and the possibility of planted hatchery rainbows spawning right now in central Texas… …In all honesty it’s critically [...]

So there are no trout bigger than 16 inches in Montana, at least according to one sport attempting to impersonate a fly fisher I ran into a few days ago. I won’t bore you with all of the conversation; though it is worth noting this encounter has made the top three on my all time [...]

Pay to play fly fishing. For decades just saying the words left behind a bitter taste in my mouth and the subtle reek of landed aristocracy in the air. Bad attitude? Maybe. But I blame it on my ‘fly fishing childhood’. For my buddies and I cutting our fly fishing teeth in mid-80’s Utah, regional [...]

Now and again we’re compelled, despite our proudly displayed claim of “lying about fly fishing since 2007” above, to be honest about something.
