We’re almost through January and boy has this winter actually felt like winter! Even winter can’t stop us from getting out on the water and enjoying the time spent on it. There have been many days of single digits and teens, but we still manage to make it out on the water. Rods have broke,.. read more →
I know this post might be pushing it a bit for some of you out there. Those of you who can’t seem to break the habit of fishing the same run, same river, same flies, same everything.

This week I decided to leave the Helena/Craig area and head over to the upper Madison river close to Yellowstone Park. I brought all the rods I own (from 4 weight through 7 weight) and I ended up fishing the 8′ 4wt Orvis Superfine Touch rod more than any other. When delicate presentations with smaller.. read more →
We’re all pretty spoiled as anglers on the Missouri: huge hatches, large fish and relatively light angling pressure during the evenings make it one of the best places on the planet to fish. Even though we have thunderstorms projected everyday for the next week, the fishing should only get better and better. The key is to find.. read more →
