2020 Big River Fishing Recap
WHAT A YEAR. If I had to give 2020 a theme song, I would choose “Help” from the Beatles. It has been a shit show of year but I don’t have to tell you that, you lived it too. From Covid to Wildfires there seemed little to be stoked about. […]
The Great American Outdoors Act. We can do this!
With any luck, Americans could have a BIG win for our public lands and the national agencies that manage them. The Great American Outdoors (GAO) Act will be making its way through the Senate this week. If passed, the GAO Act would permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund […]

Trailer Love. A Drift Boat Trailer Rebuild.
I have a hard time getting rid things that are dear to me. Does that make me a hoarder? Possibly, or maybe it’s that I have a passion for refurbishing equipment. With the guiding season off to a slow start due to COVID-19, I decided to take on a project […]

The snowpack is stout!
Everyone likes a hardy snowpack. One of the most important indicators as to how our summer fishing season will play out is our springtime snow pack. Ultimately our aquifers, lakes, and rivers are recharged annually by the amount of snow we received throughout winter and spring. Fortunately for us, we […]
Covid-19 Update
Boy, it sure is “interesting times” throughout the world as we all deal with the current Covid-19 pandemic moving throughout, well, everywhere. Our small, fairly remote valley is no exception. At the time of writing this blog post, Governor Bullock has issued a “Stay at Home Directive” throughout the State […]
"She giveth and she taketh away" was said at some point by all throughout the annual pilgrimage to the mighty Missouri River. With water flows and weather patterns changing throughout our trips, we got to experience the "MO" in all of her moods. What an amazing river.
It was a crowded river this June due to the quality of fishing as well as displaced guides from regions that were gorged with water, leaving those guides with paying clients and unfishable home water. Thanks to all the local guides and fly shops for allowing us to share that amazing resource with our clients. It sets a great example for the rest of Montana's destination fisheries.
A huge thanks to the folks that joined us to fish. We are looking forward to seeing you again in #craiglandia .

Fortunately, the snow keeps stacking up in the high country with our recent spring storms.
That got us thinking. How high will our beloved Flathead River get this year? Here is a great chance to have a little prediction fun and support some great organizations that care about our local waterways.
Please take a moment to participate and send in your predictions. Link in bio.

Scary stuff is happening on one of Montana’s most hallowed rivers. Our hearts go out to local anglers, guides, and outfitters in the area. If you live in the vicinity of the upper Madison River consider helping out. Good luck out there folks.

We took a little hiatus, AKA breather, AKA “jumped on the wagon” from the social media world this summer. Focusing on the day to day guiding operations and more importantly our angling clients surpassed the importance of social media.
The craziness of the 2021 summer has subsided. The meager boat traffic on the water, the lack of guide’s boats parked in front @larysfly as well as Northwest Montana’s amazing fall colors are a powerful reminder that things are starting to slow down. Although we aren’t done guiding yet, its time to roll up rafts, winterize motors, and stock up on fly tying materials for the long winter ahead.
This annual change in pace is welcomed by our bodies and minds but there is no doubt that in a short amount of time we will be jonesing to get back on the water with our angling clients we now call friends.
We couldn’t of asked for a better season and we thank you all for allowing us to live out our dreams on the water.
