I happened upon this pod of brown trout in the kitchen the other day. Holding in a lie below the cheese grater they seemed to be content to rest, with only the occasional lazy rise at passing food upon the counter. Somewhat unfortunately, these trout were one by one picked off by a larger and […]
So What?
Now and again we’re compelled, despite our proudly displayed claim of “lying about fly fishing since 2007” above, to be honest about something. In response to several emails like this one (minimally edited in all its glory) that have come in over the past few weeks…… WTF are you guys shilling for tu all the […]
We’ve already written about anticipation a couple of times this year – Quinn did back in August and I did back in July. There’s another kind of anticipation in the fly fishing world – a more immediate and pressing anticipation. Whether it’s at the ramp getting the boat and gear rigged, standing on the bank […]
No, we haven’t fallen off the face of the planet. She Who Must Be Obeyed and I are en route from Austin to Bozeman and have been running hard for the past couple of days. Had a little business to take care of in Ouray / Montrose and blasted on north from there to Jackson […]

The last week with the flu has left me feeling a little bit like the mini-van in the vid below…. The new week has dawned for the most part bright and sunny here in Bozeman this morning and we’ve been blessed with a call from a new fly fishing journalism friend who happens to be […]
Dammit, I’ve got the flu. Back in a day or two. The wife’s new mantra – “don’t kiss me”. Damn.
Several friends of the blog have called or emailed this week to chide us a bit. We’ve been pretty light in the posting department here on the blog, and I think Al is the only guy who’s said much of us about rivers and fishing. Most of us go into a funk this time of […]
Popped over the past to the Paradise Valley a couple of days ago to discuss a nifty new project concept (hot damn!) with a colleague; it happened to be Monday afternoon in the several hours before our latest little batch of weather moved in. The beauty of the surrounding countryside is truly a two-edge sword; […]
Eat your dog (or cat) and save the planet? So say Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, a pair of university based architects who specialize in topics related to sustainable living. A friend, who begged to remain unnamed and will so as she has private land connections to a little known regional spring creek, […]
