First off, Happy New Year from West Yellowstone, Montana. The past 12 months was filled with wonderful memories on and off the river. Thanks to those of you who diligently return to fish with Big Sky Anglers each season, and to those first timers who trust in our word, we continue to thrive in this [...]

Making my way down Barnes Hole #1 this afternoon was worth the time spent. I have a few days off and then a run of trips, so I figured some R & D was not only good for me, but for the days to come as well. Walking the Madison in YNP is pretty nostalgic. [...]

The Professor is in town, from Wisconsin, and is enjoying his new found retirement. His pick-up truck is littered with fly rods, waders, duck decoys, shot guns and a fine bird dog named Cody. Howard’s trip this fall will span the next 6 weeks……..that’s one heck of a retirement vacation. Yesterday, we hunted elk in [...]

The Madison River has been inconsistent as of late. Why? Who knows at this point. The river is starting to cool off and quite possibly, the fish are getting used to this. Brown trout are on the move throughout the river system, some days they are on the bite and some days they aren’t. Browns [...]

There are places in the Park that change every year, river bottoms undergo a massive change each season. Ever read the Living River? If you fish river at all, it gives a wonderful perspective of the Madison River and the changes it has went through during the days of Charlie Brooks. The 6X6 bull elk [...]

All winter long I write about Yellowstone National Park and post, from time to time, a few things about fly fishing. During the summer, I hardly ever I write about the curiosities of Yellowstone as fishing consumes me. Hiking without a fly rod is simply strange……as most of you know, the Park waters are not [...]

Not sure where time has gone this summer, down the river I suppose. Seems like it should only be the first of July, but here we are sitting at the third week of August. Morning temps have been hovering around 35 degrees and a hint of Fall is in the air. Upland Bird season starts in [...]

Gordon, Phillip and I have fished together for the past 9 years. This season, they brought another family member along, Uncle Herm, to experience Yellowstone and Montana’s fly fishing. Thus far, we have had a blast walking all over the NE Corner catching cutties on dry flies. Sound like fun? September will be just as good……you [...]

The Italians (Enrico & Andrea) and I have been hiking around YNP for the past two days. We have spent our time in the NE Corner of Yellowstone and no, I won’t say exactly where. It has taken me over 15 years to figure some of these spots out and flat out saying where we [...]

Headed up Mnt Washburn a few days ago, this Grizzly was just off the road browsing the hillside. It was early in the day, so we narrowly avoided the inevitable Bear Jam. The rivers throughout the NE side of Yellowstone are dropping, clearing and fishing pretty damn well. The Lamar is still high and crossing [...]
