Fly Fishing In Yellowstone, Southern Montana, and Around
From the category archives:
The last several days my fishing colleagues and I have chatted a time or two about the dramatic reports of snow-induced travails of those living along the eastern seaboard.
The media has portrayed a couple of feet of snow as an almost apocalyptic event, paralyzing the cities and and painting a broad stripe of hardship across [...]

The first week of January almost inevitably finds lots of fly fisher folk itchy to get out and stretch after the holiday season.
This year in particular finds me among that cadre – the past six weeks or so (since Thanksgiving) have been the busiest in memory and it’s been damned cold around the neighborhood.

Before the onslaught of emails chiding our mere mention of global climatology – save the pixels and bandwidth – we’ve heard the pitch of how the climate is still heating up despite it seemingly getting cooler. I’ll see your hyperventilating [...]

Several of the waters in the Park are already looking better this week (Firehole and Madison particularly) and [...]

Just as I was mumbling about what a pig my suite mate was, I turned the corner into my office and was [...]

Mother nature’s going to throw a curveball over the next few days, just after most of us in the neighborhood were getting used to this balmy weather. Gallatin Field near Bozeman hit 80 on Tuesday and yesterday– that’s ‘blow out my favorite river warm’.
