A hearty attaboy to Dave the gang at Southern Culture on the Fly for their work updating their main site; it was due, has been done well, and looks like there’s going to be a lot more content drifting through the new format there to come. Attaboy.

Today’s attaboy goes out to Trouts Fly Shop (Denver and Frisco, CO) for their continued efforts to go above and beyond in producing quality content for fly fishers; the latest example is their 2021 edition of The Current (read it here or ask for a no-cost hard copy to be mailed out). Don’t miss their […]
A hearty attaboy to the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust and all the allied conservation groups that pushed for the permit spawning season closure in Florida’s Western Dry Rocks area; read BTT’s post here and the summary details for the closure at Florida’s FWC page here. Attaboy.
Despite the nonstop environmental doom and gloom you’ve heard and read over the past 4 years, there have have some success stories that have flown under the radar. The Missoulian recently published a nice, tight recap of the Mike Horse Reclamation Project reclaiming waters in what was once known as the Upper Blackfoot Mining Complex […]
A hearty attaboy to the good folks at Bonefish and Tarpon Trust for their collaborative work over the past decade fostering united conservation efforts targeting bonefish in the Bahamas; they’ve recently released the Executive Summary of their Bahamas Bonefish Conservation Action Plan 2021 which is being reviewed by conservation partners now (you can read at […]
One of my mentors was adamant that when you caught someone doing something really good, you simply had to stop what you’re doing, take a moment, and commend them for their effort, attitude, and results (and whatever else might come to mind). That’s in part why I post an “Attaboy” now and again… A friend […]
Attaboy Sunday: Montana Headwaters Legacy Act Introduced We’ve written about the concept of protecting many of Montana’s glorious rivers, and this past week Tester finally introduced the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act in the Senate. Here’s an example of local Montana coverage via the Helena IR, and much more detail on the Montanans for Healthy Rivers […]
Back in early May I gave an attaboy shoutout to the good folks at the Mayfly Project for their efforts in mentoring kids in foster care; Loon has just done a great interview with their team – worth your time today and support.
Damn, the good folks at Tom Morgan Rodsmiths have recently updated their website, and what a fine job they’ve done capturing their unique history and surroundings there in Bozeman. (A buddy of ours actually did some of the photo work for their project, name and details withheld currently as I’m not sure that’s public knowledge […]
Today’s attaboy goes to Orvis – they’ve recently released their 2019 Impact Report detailing their impressive reach in the fly fishing world. There are a hoard of teams in the industry that boast about their outreach and conservation bona fides, but few seem to measure up to the work that Orvis keeps doing, year in […]
Kudos to the Beaverhead Watershed Committee for quietly and efficiently going about their mission to improve the Beaverhead Watershed. They’ve recently release an update on their Poindexter Slough project here, including a short audio clip. Poindexter is one of the very few publicly accessible spring creeks in Southwest Montana, and a real gem that’s a […]
A hearty Father’s Day attaboy to the creative minds at SmithFly for rolling the Wolf RTI (rigid transom inflatable) into pre-production; read all about it here and drop your deposit to get in line. As with most of their line, the final build out will be pretty damned customizable; love the concept of this rig… […]
Kudos to the TRCP for highlighting some of the good news of late out of Louisiana, focusing here on fish habitat improvements made in the ten years since the Deepwater Horizon oil catastrophe. Worth a read, and wouldn’t you love to be gearing up right now to go chase those specks on the fly tomorrow […]
Alvin Dedeaux is something of a fly fishing celebrity down in Texas; he’s one of the brightest, most articulate, engaging fly fishing guides we’ve ever run across in any locale. If you ever get the chance to fish with Alvin or hear him talk about fishing, don’t miss it. AD posted a heartfelt video yesterday […]
Emerald Water Anglers in Seattle recently did the work to have 27 June established as the new National Women’s Fly Fishing Day. Details and image via the link. Attaboy.
