I recently was able to watch a presentation by an “Outdoor Team” sponsored by a national magazine and several national gear manufacturers. Let me rephrase there – the presentation was at my place of work so I had to watch it. The talk covered backpacking and was engineered to help encourage and enable people to [...]

Several days ago we posted a series of images which appeared to show a fly fisher having a close encounter with a herd of elk, including a fair sized bull, on the Big Thompson near Rocky Mountain National Park. The pics generated a smatter of commentary and quite a bit of email. The consensus opinion [...]

Murmuration from Sophie Windsor Clive on Vimeo. Being in the right place at the right time (the River Shannon in Ireland) can make up for a little rough camerawork. The shot of the young girl’s face at the end is a great reflection of why we all need to spend a little more time in [...]

Wolves are still a hot topic in states surrounding the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. For years in Bozeman we’ve been subject to the fulminations and pontifications about the wolf from our sham of a newspaper – the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. A digression – You have to grant them this – the BDC is unfailingly consistent in [...]
We weren’t the only ones out enjoying a bit of sun yesterday – Jake grabbed some snaps of a moose cow and her yearling calf near Specimen Creek in the Park yesterday….

Eat your dog (or cat) and save the planet? So say Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, a pair of university based architects who specialize in topics related to sustainable living. A friend, who begged to remain unnamed and will so as she has private land connections to a little known regional spring creek, [...]
Rigging on the Firehole late Wednesday afternoon we noticed a small bull bison had drifted in out of the trees just across the road from the car. Neither party flinched as we rigged and he grazed on down the road – there were white miller caddis coming off and we sure as hell weren’t leaving…..
Yesterday Mark and I drove through the Gallatin Canyon on the way to West Yellowstone to meet with John Juracek before his trip to England. The number of folks fishing the Gallatin was impressive – there were people on the water from the confluence with Fan Creek basically all the way down through the Canyon. [...]
