Fished the river Betwixt yesterday afternoon, hoped for some dry fly fishing, but could not get anything to rise up to a blind fished offering. The river is a bit cool right now and I would think that most of the fish aren’t looking up. Rubber legs, sjw, zebra midges and golden stoneflies all [...]

With flows hovering around 1300 cfs, the upper Madison is in super good shape. Our forecast was for 55 and slightly sunny, with increasing clouds in the afternoon, but the weatherman didn’t get that right at all. Actually, it blew downstream all day – really hard at times – and never got above 45 degrees. [...]

The blizzard which came through over the past fours days, bumped up the snowpack to respectable numbers. We are slowly getting it, but it will take all winter to accumulate a normal snowpack. The south entrance to YNP, near Flagg Ranch, has been hammered with snow over the past month. Once again, on the way [...]

YNP continues take up most of my time these days. Running around Yellowstone in a vintage Bombardier is a fabulous way to get a paycheck, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The shot above didn’t turn out as good as the real thing. If you tilt your screen the shot gets better…… My [...]
