Yesterday American Rivers released their list of America’s Most Endangered Rivers report with this opening salvo – This report identifies the 10 most threatened waterways in the country and highlights the urgent need for conservation, greater efficiency, and better management of water resources to prevent further harm to river health, wildlife, fish and recreation. Fierce […]
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
One of country music’s greats passed away yesterday from complications of pneumonia at age 79 (on his birthday, dammit); here’s Merle fishing with son Ben in 2007. Had a chance to catch Merle with Willie in concert several years ago and will never forget it. For a guy busted for multiple petty crimes, raised in […]

Unless you’re in Arizona or New Mexico, today’s Snow Water Equivalent data for Montana and the Greater West doesn’t look half bad for this time of year. Sure, we’d all like to see more (it’s OK to be a greedy bastard when it comes to western mountain snowpack), though being close to normal throughout much […]
Responding to Montana Wild’s ‘it was an honest mistake and it wasn’t our fault’ commentary in their statement a few days back, FWP pushes back today in the Missoulian. For those hoping the story would just go away, it’s trending top of the list on the Missoulian site this morning and there’s been mention of […]
Many of you have probably heard by the now something about the Missoula filmmakers at Montana Wild, Zack and Travis Boughton, having recently plea bargained to pay almost $6,000 in fines after being tagged with more than four dozen federal and state citations, many of which focused about their activities related to bull trout.

A fair number of Western river basins have benefitted from this season’s El Nino conditions when viewed through the (crucial) lens of accumulating snowpack. SWE (snow water equivalents) for western basins as of this morning look almost reasonable for this time of year… Western basin snowpack (percentage to median) is only updated monthly, yet again […]

Working for a creative team like I do now is a very different environment than a retail fly shop. It gives us the chance to work with some pretty incredible people doing pretty incredible things. One of the projects that Seacat Creative has been working on for a good portion of the past year has […]

Redington ELEMENTS | Searching from Redingtongear on Vimeo. SEARCHING is a celebration of how rhythmic spey casts soothe the soul; how the process of cast, swing, step, repeat builds anticipation; how fly lines kiss the water with graceful subtlety; how everything spirals into slow motion the moment before a long-awaited grab. It’s about the love […]
The Arctic Duck Jacket we reviewed and posted for drawing is shipping this morning to David M. in Northern California. His response in being notified of winning was a most appropriate ‘Hot Damn’. Appreciate all the interest and we’re looking to be doing a lot more giveaways in the months to come. Monday morning cheers […]
The Fly Fishing High Five from Labrador Productions on Vimeo. Sometimes the excitement of catching a fish outweighs the desire to maintain a calm, cool, collected appearance typically associated with the Fly Fisherman. At those times we celebrate with reckless abandon and no regard for how silly we might look. To the casual observer we […]
