A long term project to document and catch native trout across the West beginning right here in the greater Yellowstone region.
FISHING REPORT
Winter fishing on the Lower Madison River offers some of the most consistent cold-season opportunities near Bozeman, Big Sky, and Livingston. Here’s how we fish this stretch in winter, what the trout are doing, and how to plan a day when conditions line up.
BOAT TOURS
Rivers don’t follow calendars, and neither do the best days on the water. A January wooden boat tour on the Yellowstone revealed just how special winter can be when conditions line up.
FLY FISHING EDUCATION
Spring creeks slow anglers down and expose every detail. Clean drifts, thoughtful adjustments, and patience are required. The lessons learned here carry into every other trout fishery.
RIVER STORIES
A reflection on The River Why, steelhead fishing, and what time on the water teaches us about control, patience, and showing up. From Northern California rivers to guiding on the Yellowstone, this essay explores why the river doesn’t give answers…. it removes noise.
