I come from a foodie family. For as long as I can remember, Mark and SWMBO have been cooking and baking up masterpieces of the culinary art. That trait was passed down to me, and even though I may be broke as hell at this stage of my life, it’s always fun to try new […]

Every now and then the good guys win one. Yesterday I got an email from Chi Wulff friend, Colorado TU President, and coffee-meister Sinjin Eberle informing me that their efforts to help protect the Upper Colorado River have not been in vain. An agreement was reached between the Municipal Subdistrict of the Northern Colorado Water […]
It’s something every photographer dreads. And if you shoot pictures on or near water, it’s bound to happen at some point. Fly fishermen are especially at risk, and sooner or later you are going to do it to: drop your camera in the water. Sunday Shane and I went fishing on the local small water. […]
With December just around the corner, winter is quickly closing in on us. Some parts of the country have already entered into their cold weather pattern. Unfortunately, that does not include Montana. We’ll get cold and snow for a few days, then it will warm back up into the 40s and 50s like it was […]
A lot of fishermen tend to overlook winter fishing. The weather gets damn cold, the trout get lethargic, and most folks put their gear away for a few months or more. A break from the hustle and bustle of prime time fishing can be a big relief. But when the itch strikes, you have to […]
Happy Thanksgiving! We’ve all got a lot to be thankful for today. And since Thanksgiving falls upon a Thirsty Thursday, I hope whatever drinks you choose to accompany your turkey are delicious and plentiful. There is one Thanksgiving drink that stands above all else for myself and our family. That would be Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider. […]
Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Damn it’s been a fast year. Hard to believe the holidays are upon us once again. This year I have a lot to be thankful for. I moved back to Montana. The fishing was good. Friendships were rekindled, and grand adventures were had. I got promoted at work, and am further along […]
Thanksgiving is coming up, and that usually marks the time when Mark and I put the fly rods away for a few months. You need a break, and with the holidays coming up life gets pretty hectic for a while. As the fishing season ends, take a couple moments and reflect on this year. Has […]
Winter isn’t even really here yet, and I’m already thinking about next year. A lot of us fly fishermen have put down our rods for at least a couple months by this point in the year, and honestly, it’s kind of nice to have a break. Winter is traditionally a time of knuckling down and […]
Things are kind of stabilizing for me here in Bozeman. After almost a month of running around at work with my new job like a chicken with its head cut off, my schedule is finally falling back into a routine. It’s great. Part of that routine is getting out and about as much as possible. […]
Today is Election Day, one of the only chances that we, the average citizens, have a real chance to affect the course of our government. Voting is often taken for granted in our society, but when you think about how many people in the world don’t have that opportunity and would give anything for it, […]
Not every day goes as you planned it. Last night for Halloween, I got off work and was about to drive to a party at Becca’s house when I got a sobering phone call from her saying she fell off her horse and would I please grab her wallet and meet her at the ER. […]
With November almost on us, most fly fishermen are thinking about the end of the season. The fall mayflies are finishing up, the weather is turning colder, and water temps are dropping. This is the time of year when you first start noticing ice on the guides and start wondering if you’ve had enough days […]
This past weekend has proven to me once again that fall really is the best season of the year, hands down. The folks were in town, I got four days off work and the stress of a new job, and it was opening weekend of hunting season. Not to mention the fact that fall is […]
It’s just been one of those weeks. A new job at the store is proving to be more of a handful than I had thought it would be, I haven’t gotten a damn thing done at home workwise, and it’s prime time fishing and I haven’t cast a line in damn near two weeks Damn. […]
