    Skwala Patterns

    This is a pattern I tied for the Yakima a few years ago, but it's been far more effective on the Clark Fork.

    Smith River Questions

    I use the double Orvis Safe Passage Rod tubes strapped to my oar tower. Stores two rods safely and out of the way. I don't think they make this size anymore but others might.

    Smith River Questions

    Hope you have water, I've been twice with flows at 1500+ and 244. It's already a low-water year for that watershed, below 100% SWE. I've got an invite for a May 24 trip this year. The first trip in 2012 was quick days with a layover day, the second being a cold October 2019 trip (pics...

    Drift Boat Oar Recommendations

    I'd recommend the SquareTop DyneLite with blade preference being a factor in the primary use. Coastal rivers and rowing from point to point go with the wide blade, rowing for anglers fishing from the boat a Shoal Cut. It's a better profile for year-round use as well. The standard SquareTop is...

    Let's Talk Groovers

    The opportunity for mishaps with self-contained waste disposal should determine the quality, performance, and user-friendly features. Because that's in the Top 5 for sure, along with proper hand washing hygiene, for multi-day trips. Shit cannot go wrong, so to speak. I use the EcoSafe system...

    Why is the truth about what I have observed in MT divisive? It's also well-documented and a growing threat to the economy, quality of public institutions, and public health to name a few societal & cultural issues. The truth is, we are all at risk from extreme religious and political attitudes...

    It's the White Nationalists and religious extremists you have to worry about, to be honest.

    Wanted Dry Boxes for StreamTech Salmonfly Raft

    I have seen a few Salmonfly's for sale but mostly those owners are looking to upgrade to the Steelhead. I've rowed it, just more room than I need but it's equally impressive in performance. Hard pressed to find anyone breaking up a "package" though. Life is great in Montana, the Flathead is my...
