Took the family out for an evening adventure on the MO. What a difference a week makes. The snow was nearly gone from the Big Belts and the grass was green and climbing the mountain sides. Bugs were thick. It seems like the BWO’s just got started, but March Browns, Callibaetis, Caddis and even a [...]

Brian Neilsen of Fin Fetchers holds a representative of evening activity below Craig, MT. Brian provided the boat and the beer. All I did was talk too much, drink half the beer and miss some of the fish. When guides get together, the stories fly better than the fly line. I [...]

By now, most anglers are aware of the imposing and devastating threat to the Bristol Bay watershed. Sage, Redington, Rio have already offered sales proceeds from a rod/reel combo for the cause. Many companies are following suit. Here is an excerpt of what Abel is doing.

Trout fishing season on the Kenai River closes from May 1 through June 10. Good thing Stacy went out on Tuesday and caught a big fish.
I stopped at The Trout Shop in Craig this morning to say hello to Brian Neilsen and grab some hooks and a couple flies. The word in the [...]
