Hey guys, long time… I haven’t posted a whole lot here lately as almost all of my time has been spent unapologetically hibernating at home with my wife and pups while enjoying a "full reset" of sorts before tackling what is sure to be...

Hey guys,
I've been out a few times and caught a few fish since that last report, but mostly I've been busy with all sorts of other projects so I'm not super up to date on current conditions. I've got a half day trip on...

Hey guys, just realized it's been a minute again... Hopefully you've been able to follow me on my Facebook or Instagram accounts where you'll find more frequent little updates, but otherwise you'll always find it here eventually. (With all of the recent scams and...

Hey guys, it's game time! (Sorta...🙄) We just got back from Alaska on Sunday afternoon and found out that the guys at the shop have been inundated with calls already about Salmon, and even Salmon in the fly water spawning, among other things. (The...
