We hear that Sam Snyder plays with Dollies. The pic above appears to prove it. So we jumped the gun today and put up the first part of Sam’s interview without any juicy pics. Here’s a couple now with more to come as we post the rest of his interview over the next couple of […]

West of Bozeman, on the way back from fishing the Gallatin in the Canyon.

Winter might just finally be on the way out back home.

Though somewhat ironically born and raised in the near waterless Texas panhandle, I’ve been fascinated with water, particularly moving water in freestone creeks and rivers, for as long as I can remember.

Pics of the day from Jess at Fire Girl Photography. Moonrise over the upper Gallatin just below Yellowstone’s northern boundary. And below, catching a little evening saddle bronc action in Gardiner after fishing the northeast corner last year.

(Bandwith be damned, we like images you can sink your teeth into….)

For some reason keep thinking about summer and freestone rivers this morning. A single change in shutter speed gives a very different perspective of this out of the way, ‘think nothing of it’ Gallatin riffle. Conveying a sense of flow and movement in river photography is so technically easy and yet not a piece of […]
