I had a chance to spend a late evening last week chasing cutties up on Hyalite Reservoir south of Bozeman. My new inflatable Bote SUP is proving to be a pretty fun lake craft…

Back with part two of Louisiana adventures. While down in the Pelican State, we set aside a “booze day” (you know it’s a good trip when the on-the-ground team has a cooler already loaded with beer and wine on Day 1) as our last day. We’d explored the marshes, fished the Gulf, and barely scratched […]
Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to work in southwest Louisiana, getting a solid dose of an unexpectedly awesome culture. Based out of Lake Charles, I was able to explore the Creole Nature Trail (gators galore), fish for speckled trout off oil rigs in the Gulf (ridiculously fun), eat a silly amount of fantastic […]
Fishing ladies (or guys looking for Christmas present ideas!), Jess McGlothlin and Camille Egdorf are hosting Yellow Dog’s first ladies-only hosted trip February 6 – 11, 2017. This trip is going to fill fast, so save your spot before we’re sold out! Jess is bringing her camera along, so as an added bonus, expect some fun images […]
In the midst of a busy event / travel / job prep week, I took advantage of a meeting-less afternoon this past week and ran up into the mountains. Temps were hovering in the upper 40s here in the valley, and as I turned south I could see heavy clouds blanketing the Gallatins. I worked […]
Here in Bozeman, we welcomed the arrival of fall with several days of temperatures barely nudging 50F and a fitting drizzle. Leaves are starting to change, boots and fleece are popping out around town, and every angler’s brain is switching into streamer mode. And while I can’t bring myself to pull the spare pair of […]
I had to pull out my down vest today due to some chilly fall weather here in Bozeman, and it’s already got me thinking about the tropics. Through Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures, I’ll be joining fellow photographers Bryan Gregson and Jim Klug this October to teach an On-the-Water Photography Workshop at Belize’s El Pescador Lodge. […]
Teamwork makes the world go ‘round. Last night, Jake and his wife Kaitlyn rallied and helped me hang up a wall’s worth of canvases at downtown Bozeman coffeehouse Wild Joe’s Coffee Spot. The images are up and — as one customer noted when I was in the coffee shop this morning leaving final signage — […]
It’s been a hell of a few weeks here in southwest Montana. The news of the Yellowstone closure is becoming international — I spent a few days last week on assignment shooting photos for a major U.S. paper and subsequently has phone calls from contacts in Europe wanting images. It’s a story; a story taking […]
August has brought a bit of frenzy to Bozeman. Tourist season is still in full swing, the college kids are starting to drift back in, and that summer-is-ending-we-better-play mode is prevalent. While this means we have legit traffic and it’s hazardous to drive downtown at times, it also provides questionable entertainment. Eating lunch with a […]
Back to Montana after a week in Florida. The week of the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show was a sprint — it’s interesting and very different seeing it from the AFFTA side of things (the American Fly Fishing Trade Association puts on the show) and after everything wrapped up Friday evening there was that nice […]
By the time this post pops up Sunday morning, I’ll be on an airplane heading to the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show in Orlando. It’s a gathering of the industry — manufacturers, shop owners, personalities… the fly-fishing industry comes together in our own little way to do business. Look forward to seeing many of you […]
I’m heading off to the northwestern corner of Montana this morning; visiting compadres at Linehan Outfitting Company while on assignment for Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures. Looking forward to getting back near home country; that corner of Montana is a very different beast than the rest of the state. Check back next week for a report […]
Last weekend marked the spring Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures retreat… we headed out of Bozeman Friday afternoon, meeting up at Great Waters Inn near Melrose, Montana, on the banks of the Big Hole. What followed was a night of good stories, some serious partying, and a few intense sessions at the pool table. The next […]
The Missouri River is developing a bit of a reputation for Spey. For two-handed fishing in general. And while, for many, using a two-handed rod for anything other than salmon or steelhead seems like a foreign concept, for a growing tribe of Montana anglers, it’s a thing. The gang at Headhunters Fly Shop in Craig […]
