“Water, is taught by thirst.” - Emily Dickinson A year ago, the annual snowpack in the Wood River and surrounding basins were right around 70% of average. This year the Wood River Basin sits at 65%, the Lost at 52%, and the Little Wood at 47%. While much of the southern part of the state is abnormally dry, the heart…

“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” - Bruce Lee Like the water resting on…

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” - Rainer Maria Rilke The ode of the river beckons the angler to apprehend the flowing stanzas of riffles, pools, and runs.

“It is utterly soothing to fly fish for trout. All other considerations or worries drift away and you couldn't keep them close if you wanted. Perhaps it's standing thigh deep in a river with the water passing at the exact but varying speed of life. You easily recognize this mortality and it dissipates into the landscape.” - Jim Harrison In…

“We hear nothing so clearly as what comes out of silence.” - David James Duncan Fresh snow absorbs noise, rendering a canvas of silence along the river. Add to the composition the crunch of vibram soles, the brush of frosty Gore-tex, the crackle of frozen water, and the swish of rhythmic graphite. In the moment before the take... a symphony…

“The line between catching fish and not catching them is often very thin.” - Ted Trueblood Anglers with a balance of preparation, patience, humility, confidence, and faith approach the thin line between catching and not catching with more frequency.

“There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.” - Roderick Haig-Brown A winter angler must accept that which cannot be controlled: the foulness of the weather, the frigidity of the water, the intensity of the hatch. But the angler can…

“Trout are among those creatures who are one hell of a lot prettier than they need to be. They can get you to wondering about the hidden workings of reality.” ― John Gierach There is something ineffable about a rainbow trout in winter.

“With a fly rod, anglers are not casting to a fish; rather to a circle of dreams: ripples that spread into every aspect of their lives.” ― Fennel Hudson So, when you give the gift of fly fishing to your loved ones this year, you are not merely providing a moment of escapism; you are delivering fodder for dreams and…

“The more you look, the more you see.” ― Robert M. Pirsig A glance only sees the grey, cold reflection of sky and mountains. A close inspection reveals contours of river bottom and subtle changes in flow. But, through the eyes of a seasoned angler, the interplay of light and shadows reveals life both above and below.

“More details explain things more, but less details confuse things less.” – David James Duncan Rivers follow patterns which make forecasting easy. However, the weather can be unpredictable which makes forecasting difficult.
