While perhaps you and I might not agree with every single position they hold, there’s no question the Native Fish Society does an admirable volume of great work. They’ve recently published a pretty darned tight summary of their best stuff this past year in their annual report available here. Attaboy.

I was reminded by this Bozeman Daily Chronicle op ed (Montana’s Unique Rivers Deserve Unique Protection) by Montana business owner Brian McGeehan (some of you might remember his insightful comments about the Madison kerfuffle a few months back) about the proposed Montana Headwaters Security Act. The image above is taken from the Montanan’s for Healthy […]
From today’s Attaboy File and via the Missoulian – BLM to Buy 13K Acres in the Lower Blackfoot. Expanding public land holdings along a prime Montana river corridor is always a win. Attaboy. Image via the Missoulian at the link above.
Attaboy Winston and Bauer Fly Reels for putting this event together; enjoy the party…
What a great concept from AFFTA, a day set aside to raise funds to support the Bristol Bay Defense Fund in their ongoing battle against the ever-looming Pebble Mine. Details here, kudos to the industry and media folks who have already committed, and we’d encourage shops and the bigs in the game to get on […]
It is trout season, and here’s a very nice new effort from Sage to help you think trout today. Attaboy Sage.
For today’s Attaboy, we salute Montana’s John Tester for his re-introduction of the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act in Congress, specifically now awaiting discussion and action in the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee. There were some thoughtful words spoken about the project recently at a launch event in Missoula, covered by the Missoulian here (that’s […]
Before you laugh and scoff at a the mention of Zebco on a fly fishing blog, hear me out on this one… There are many a fly fisher out and about these days who as a tyke first cast a spinning rod, and many who (even if they won’t admit it) have spinning or bait […]
What a nifty concept, team, and mission. Read more about the MayFly Project and their foster children mentoring program via fly fishing here. Attaboy.
We’re happy to join the chorus of praise for the passage of the Natural Resources Management Act (S.47 – read it in all its glory here) first by the Senate and then Tuesday by the House. The big hitters (at least from a Montanan’s perspective) here are the permanent authorization of the LWCF and passage […]
The Natural Resources Management Act (S.47, read it all it’s legalese-speak here) has passed through the Senate (92-8 vote, something all but unheard of in this day and age) and is headed to the House, where it will no doubt be changed to some degree, given the whining by groups such as the NRDC and […]
Kudos to the team at RL Winston Rod Co. in Twin Bridges for rebuilding the bamboo shop after the devastating fire back on 7 May 2017. A part of history burned up that day, though sounds like they’re back stronger than ever. Attaboy.
Last week Montana Senators Daines and Tester reintroduced the Yellowstone Gateway Protection Act (S.60 of the 116th Congress), trying once again to protect some of the beautiful and critical lands around Yellowstone from mining and other development concerns. Attaboy, and let’s get it passed this time around. Image from the Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s post about […]
A hearty attaboy is due the good folks at BUFF USA for their Live More Now series, a worthy mantra for the New Year if there ever was one. The vid above is the latest in the series, and there are a couple more coming in the first quarter of 19. Instead of the often […]
Kudos to the research team at Orvis for rounding up a current list of fly fishing shows around the country for 2019, with links. See it here, and you can submit to Phil at Orvis if your show didn’t make the list. Attaboy.
