The Big Lost River will be fishing great until the water is raised below the dam. This could happen at anytime but the farmers do not need the water right now and I expect as the reservoir fills to capacity they will have to raise the level and when they do it will be 'un-fishable'. Last year I thought they…

Thanks to exposure from vehicles like the F3T and facebook, most everyone in the tight-knit community of fly fishing media has seen the Silver Creek Outfitters production "Doc of the Drakes". If not, it's worth 5 minutes of your time to check it out. http://www.vimeo.com/28285715 Well Dr. Robert Franklin "The Doc" still gets out and fishes often. I was fortunate…

The most 'epic' marmot photo you'll see all day! My "stomping grounds" are nothing more than a small oval drawn on a map of the United States, a mere dot on the face of the globe. Small and insignificant on paper. But when a boot hits the ground in these places that I call home, small and insignificant can only…

Ever felt like you're invested in a wild goose chase? Have you ever been out standing in a river staring blankly into the water and wondering if you've been had? Have…

Call it an "eye" call it a "style" call it whatever, but each artist produces work that is as individual as their own fingerprint. Ed Anderson is one of several local artists inspired by all things Idaho. Even when applied to the same subject matter (in this case fish) the interpretations created on canvas, paper, board, or acrylic are all…

The Big Wood River will fish very good in the month of March. As the temperatures warm up expect very good midge fishing. You will want dries and nymphs for this time of year. Pattern size will be critical and I like very small flies for this time of year. My favorite dries are Trailing Shuck Midges and griffith's Gnats…

Warren Miller was (and still is) a pioneer, and arguably one of the best. By developing and evolving outdoor sports filmmaking and touring those films around the country, Miller shared incredible skiing experiences with the masses. The release of a Warren Miller ski film and the arrival of the show tour to local theaters around the country became anticipated events…

Where the hell are ya?! After several back-to-back years of generous snowpack levels and plenty of cool clear water, Idaho and much of the West and Northern Rockies are having their "water year rug" yanked out from under them. Granted, the La Nina trend of recent years has seemed to push winter conditions down the calendar a bit. Seems the…

I expect the Big Wood to fish better in February as temperatures rise on some days. It will still be weather dependent but on those days when temperatures are above freezing the fishing can be good. Expect to see midges especially on cloudy overcast days and you will want various stages of this bug. I like to carry surface patterns…
