    Annual favorite fish of the year thread.

    The memory of this pike coming out of the dark, weedy depths to smash my bunny fly. I'll never forget the look in the fishes eye. A first Goldeye on a fly..

    Fishing the Cool Weather Doldrums

    Ive been learning the art of fishing leeches under bobber last couple years.🤣 its really not terribly complicated I've found. I will say the biggest challenge is patience. Because I get bored easily bobber fishing, I started experimenting with a very subtle retrieve. This works well with light...

    Standup Paddleboards

    My wife and I have three boards. Two hard, one inflatable. Most casual SUP people go the inflatable route. We paddle alot and prefer the hard boards. Better performance hands down. Less hassle, but then we have racks on all vehicles for transport. Start modest, inflatable, but if she really...

    The "How was your weekend?" thread...

    I have a significant variety of pike flies. Many are probably created by a guy with a hard-on for creating the " next best thing". Nothing wrong with thoughtful creativity. But more and more, the simple fly works the same or better.. I have tried damn near every style and color combination on...

    Adventure Question....

    I threw my meager belongings in my car at 24, drove across the country and landed in Montana. It's been almost 40 years of wandering in my spare time here. Hunting, fishing, peak bagging, have taken me in to many remote mountain ranges, mostly solo. Three years ago, at 59, I finally drew a...

    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    I was fishing from shore with a friend on the big lake in Montana. Saw the game warden glassing us from 1/2 mile off. Told my buddy heads up, we have incoming. Warden made his way over, first thing he commented, " never seen anybody fly fishing here, watcha fishing for?" 😁...I liked hearing that.
