The wife and I came back about a week ago from a trip to Wyoming. The trip was more of a getaway than a fishing trip but I did end up attempting some fishing. I say attempting because conditions weren't always conducive to fly fishing but I sure had fun and was able to forget about all my...

Thanks for replying BDD. I'm local so I will contact you offline and take up your offer to come see them the third week of April. With all that said your last sentence confuses me, I'm assuming you're joking since you'd rather be in Alaska fishing than building boats. Thomas Mitchell thanks...

Thanks Freestone, I trust your judgement as I have read many of your other posts on here or the other forum. I need to call the company and see if I can stop by their North Bend facility or have to make a trip to Ellensburg to see the frame in person before I make my choice. My gut tells me I...

Well while I've got your attention and waiting for @BDD to chime in here, you guys seem familiar with the Freestone raft? What are your thoughts in general? One of the benefits I see right off the bat compared to other companies is the frame for the oars vs an oar point welded to the raft...

The Catchercraft Freestone has really caught my eye. I like the idea of being able to pack it in the back of my short bed Tacoma that has a canopy. I've recently added a River Quiver to the roof and may add other gear up there so travelling across multi states with my pontoon isn't going to...

I've been thinking recently of joining a fly fishing club. I'm just worried I don't have enough time with my crazy work schedule. I know I need to make time.

I took a fly tying class where one of the instructors had a brilliant and simple solution to the crazy wire problems. Cut a piece of plastic comb binding (the type you get at a print store when you have college notes or something similar made. Cut it to fit the spool and wrap it around the...

Here is my spot after I recently moved it to it's current location. Now its a mess!

Additionally, the spring bear hunts are not open to all of the units that the fall regular bear season entail. The spring bear hunts are typically areas that have been identified as having issues and conflicts. Many are on timber company land and it's not a slaughter fest. Many of the tags go...

I have just found my long lost cousin!!!!!! Russell!

This is what I'm talking about! Thanks Timbow. I will check some of these out. One of my buddies is a rancher near Cody and I know one night I'm going to meet him at the Irma for prime rib.

And those commissioners basically gave a big FU to all of the hard working WDFW biologists and others in the field who have first hand information and the realities of animal populations in this state. "Ragen, a former director of the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission, said he needs much more...

Per the website its March 1- April 30 10-5, May 1-Sept 15 0800-1800. You guys are talking me into another visit to this place during this trip. This summer I'm planning on swinging through Dubois as well to check out the National Museum of Military Vehicles...

I love the Center of the West! I spent a day there a year ago and plan on going back there on a later trip to Cody this summer. I am a western history buff and last trip also went to Fort Phil Kearny and the the Fetterman battlefield. Good info Richard especially for anyone travelling the...

This thread made me think of a trip to BC where my buddy and I were having a great day catching all sorts of west slope cutt's when we came to another gin clear pool and this hog was just holding there. We floated about 15 different flies at that monster and couldn't get it to bite. I'm glad...

I'm heading out to Wyoming in a week and will be hitting the Sheridan and greater Cody areas with the wife. I booked a cabin on the Greybull near Meeteetse for a few days and after double checking the regs to make sure what's open, I'm hoping to get a little fishing in. I'll be hitting North...

I really hate thieves.

I was just looking at the Wyoming website and some other sources reference The Wyoming Cutt Slam. I am going to be spending alot of time in Wyoming this year and am trying to figure out if I can have my travels coincide with being able to accomplish the slam.

Just picked up, "Fly Fishing West Yellowstone: a History and Guide" by Bruce Staples and Bob Jacklin. Some of the old photos are pretty damn cool.

Technically west of the Pacific Crest Trail is the only area recognized where you will find blacktail deer. East side of Washington and Oregon you will find both muleys and whitetails. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming all have muleys and white tails. I was in a few fly shops this past week and was...
