Excellent! Love the photos and historical context. Sounds like a great trip. One possible correction on the wildlife ID. I don’t think capybara make it into Panama, but tapirs do, and your photo looks more like a tapir, too.

I doubt that there was a single image that was accurately associated with the body of water being mentioned in the video at the time the image was shown!

Lolly, my doggie companion of 14 years, from riverbanks to mountain tops, departed for the big dog park in the sky last week. The loss is far too fresh to contemplate when or if there will be another.

Damn you, Dr. Pavlov…

I use a couple hopper-specific patterns, including a parachute hopper (I've come to hate tying hopper legs out of pheasant tail) and an extended body hopper, but I find myself using a parachute madame X with a yellow body for a variety of large, high floating attractor applications.

I second all of the above, but for excellent fly fishing writing with a PNW flavor, you can't beat anything by Steve Raymond.

Here's a simple flying ant that works for me.

I'm a fisherman and I guess you'd say 'retired' hunter, since I haven't hunted in years, but still support hunting. I just don't think this is the stuff of constitutions. I agree with Salmo_G that scientists should make the rules, or at least provide the data for recommendations to the...

My friend Angus Thuermer has been doing a lot of great reporting on this in WyoFile. The link in the OP is an old one, @billie linked to a recent one. There are more articles for anyone who wants a deeper dive. Apparently a public access group is promoting providing funds to install passages...

Ok, here's part II of our AlCan adventures-in-border-crossing in 1978. If you read my post above, you may have figured out that we were now in Alaska and would have to return to the continental US via Canada. We really didn't have any option; we were dirtbag climbers who had pooled our last...

Too many to count. Was it coming in from Cuba via Cancun in 1996 with a full plant press (I’m a botanist), which the agents insisted on pulling completely apart and asking me to tell them what each specimen was and why I had brought it with me from Cuba, or maybe the time I was leaving Bogota...

Jim and Robert, those dogs were clearly well loved.

Ice report, Greg. I used to live in that area and don’t get back nearly enough. This summer it was for a 50th anniversary climb of the Grand Teton. Next time it will be to fish the Wyoming range.

Rubber boa. They are a docile, native constrictor relatively common along the lower slopes on the east side of the Cascades.

You mean like the peer review that the paper cited here has been through?

Hi-Lakers may be just for you!

I also am not as stable when wading as I used to be, but I've waded in Simms wet wading boots with their rubber soles for several years and have not felt I sacrificed much traction from the felts I used before. I mostly fish cold, clear freestone streams that do not have as much algae on the...

Gray one, sorry for your loss. My ‘pup’ turned 13 a couple months ago. I treasure every morning walk, though they are noticeably slower these days.

Great story! Great photos! Great day, Dad!

Thanks for posting this. The article was written by an old friend of mine, Angus Thuermer. I haven't heard anything of/from him in years, decades, really. Neat to see that he is still on the outdoor beat in Wyoming.
