Our Alaska Wilderness Safari trip was a huge success this past September! This was our fourth hosted trip to the AWS Camp, and the fishing, the scenery, the helicopter flights—the whole experience was just as thrilling as our first trip! Epic really is the best word to describe it! If you are interested in joining us on our fifth hosted trip to the AWS Camp in September of 2017, we still have a few open spots. Call or email us at the shop, and we can fill you in on all of the details. Now for some of our pics:...

We knew it was a gamble going steelhead fishing this late in the season, and just like what usually happens when I gamble, we lost! The first three days were perfect conditions—lows in the low 40’s, highs in the 50’s with water temperature hovering just above 50-degrees—and the fishing was decent too, swinging up a fish a day, but only landing one. No worries, I thought, I’ve got another ten days on the water, and the fishing only gets better further downstream…but then the bottom fell out.

Hey guys, Just thought I'd pass this along to you. I'm involved in the Big Brother Big Sister program and have been mentoring Tyler more than 4 years now. I recently taught Tyler how to fly fish and he has embraced the sport with enthusiasm. Here is a photo from yesterday's trip to Lincoln Lake where we caught around 135 bream in 4 1/2 hours using wooly boogers from your shop! Thanks David Hopper

Everyone was reel fishing with crickets or wax worm and pulling fish up right and left. I was the only one fly fishing and the only one not catching anything. I finally cheated and put...

Clouser minnow off a weed bed. First cast of the day!Tom Bie, multi-media magnate owner/operator of The Drake magazine, wanted a taste of Ozark fly fishing, so Russell and I took him down the Kings in the Clacka.Russell with a catfish that munched a Crazy DadWater levels were just about perfect, and we couldn't ask for better weather. All the fish were strong and healthy, and we caught them on everything from top to bottom.Don't worry-- we showed him a crappy time so he won't spill the beans about how good we've got it around here.Thanks for rowing once in...
