Not that long ago while uploading a batch of new images to my photography site, I noticed a milestone approaching. Within my album of trout images titled "Trout Glam" one hundred images of our beloved trout were just a few fish away. As a fisherman, photographer, and filmmaker, stories seem to appear all around me. Even in something as simple…

http://www.vimeo.com/41621757 Busted out of the Blaine County bubble to visit the family in Santa Cruz and was fortunate to book a day with Mike Costello. He literally wrote the book on flyfishing in the California Delta, and again did not disappoint. Always fun to throw 9wt rods with I-lines and sinks, a real departure from the lighter weight stuff…

The fishing season has come to a close on many area rivers now as wild trout…

This important habitat is shrinking however, and later on in this series we'll discuss that matter. Monday morning and after 6:30 breakfast and rigging our…

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'.

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…
