2016 Year End Summary

2016 Year End Summary I thought it would be prudent to examine our past season with a 2016 year end summary, since it was so challenging. Between low flows, hot temps and fires galore we still managed to produce quality experiences for our clients. This exact scenario is why I’ve strived so hard over the years to have as many quality options as possible, so that our clients are afforded quality experiences each and every day. We realize how important […]

Back in the saddle, again!

December 13, 2016 Back in the Saddle, again! We are back in the saddle, again, the only difference is we’re in Texas for the school year! As they say, better late to blog, than never. Our family has recently moved out of Wyoming for the school year and after living in paradise for so long, adjusting to living near a big city has required making some major adjustments.

Thankful for Reservoirs

8.14.2016 Thankful for Reservoirs In a low water year, such as our current season that we have been experiencing, I’m so thankful for Reservoirs and I’d love to give a huge shout out and kudos to the Bureau of Reclamation. Without their mindful and systematic operations, we, as fishing guides, would be really hurting for quality water for our business and clients. Read this excerpt from the Bureau’s website; Drought in the Western United States “Many areas in the Western U.S. are […]

Warm Temperatures May Be Stressing Fish

Warm Temperatures May Be Stressing Fish As Wyoming is experiencing the high temperatures of summer, trout are grappling with reduced food and oxygen, and in many instances, their very survival. 7/28/2016 11:19:21 AM PINEDALE – The current warm conditions have fish managers with the Wyoming […]
