Water Worth Saving
Green with Envy from Trout Unlimited on Vimeo. Amazing video from TU and the Sportsmen’s Conservation Project detailing what very well might be one of the most insane proposed thefts of water the West has ever seen. Very well done and a must see if you haven’t already.
Ed, long time friend, mentor and now more or less defacto family member, warned more than a decade ago that the Colorado front range’s growth would eventually outstrip its water supply. We weren’t really talking fish, fisheries or fishing back then; the conversation was actually about buying and selling apartment buildings along the front from […]
Making a sweep of my daily must read fly fishing sites this morning and ran across this post written by none other than Mark ‘SOL’ hisself. Mark said the video below, of Timothy T Wonhola, Sr., Village Elder, was the video of the week. We for damn sure agree. The vid is part of the […]
Kudos are due a bunch of folks involved in the deliberations to preserve and protect the Flathead River Basin in southern British Columbia and northwestern Montana. In a era when bureaucrats of almost any and all stripes can’t get their collective heads out of their arses long enough to even simply define conservation priorities, the […]

Jerry Zieg tells the Independent Record that high metal prices and renewed interest from investors creates the possibility of mining copper, […]
I grew up fishing the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam. This was the river we went to remind ourselves that we didn’t know much about fly fishing. The river we went to when we wanted to catch a trout larger than sixteen inches. The river we went to see such fish, suspended along the […]
Chatted briefly (via email) with one of our Alaskan compadres, Sam Snyder, yesterday about a few things, one of which is an interesting twist developing in the Bristol Bay – Pebble war. Sam lives right on the cutting of the tussle up there given his role as the Direct of the Bristol Bay Watershed and […]
With an appreciative tip of the hat to new Chi Wulff friend Tom Sadler, the brains and brawn behind The Middle River Group, here’s a good news river recovery story to kick off the weekend. According to this article which ran in the Denver post on the 2oth, the Eagle had been ‘ravaged by toxins […]
