Here’s the second part of our People of Fly Fishing interview with Mark Raisler and John Arnold of the Headhunters Fly Shop in Craig. If you missed the first half yesterday, read it here (and you really should). What’s the best and worst of life on the banks of the mighty Missouri? The best part […]

Chatting with Ed yesterday he said (as he usually does) something that struck a chord, “…well dammit, now maybe we can act like it’s winter.” After two winter seasons that packed a punch and with the weather masterminds predicting another yet La Nina-induced wallop this year, friends and fishers back home viewed the onset of […]

Cutties are for Suckers from Yukon Goes Fishing on Vimeo.

Montana TU has released their 2011 Annual Report and we’d be remiss if we didn’t call out their efforts in restoring Native Cutts. Sure, Montana TU has a few things to crow about looking back at 2011 – their role in wrestling with the Montana Legislature during the battles just about a year ago over […]

They (the natives) demand clean, cold, relatively undisturbed waters in which to thrive. Native cutthroats are […]

I like the places water goes. I’ve been lucky enough to stay off of a plane for several months now, though there is something fascinating to ponder as one jets from one airport beehive to another. From 30,000 feet it only takes a smidgen of watchful imagination to see how water has shaped and formed […]

Fly Fishing Glacier National Park | Flathead River from Bigfork Anglers on Vimeo. We lived in the Flathead for a number of years about 5 minutes from the Presentine Bar access on the main stem. Nice to see some of the old stomping grounds again…..

Dear Santa, Greetings to you and Mrs. Claus from the gang at Chi Wulff. We’re tickled pink that you want to set up another exchange of gifts from the North Pole for some river and fly fishing time in Montana again this year. Who knows what the winter’s snow season will bring, though the forecasts […]
