Fishing Report: Green River
Great weather the second day (50 degrees with 40mph wind the first, we’ll forget about that) and overall decent fishing, especially if you’re into whitefish. Highlight of the trip was casting the bro-in-law’s new Scott rod, had to give it back before I get used to that kind of luxury. Always good to get out [...]

Wyoming Born – Cliff Outdoors
We’ll be headed up to Gray Reef in a couple weeks (if the insane water levels subside) and might just have to stop by the world headquarters of Cliff Outdoors. Hands down the best fly boxes on the market born and bred in Casper, WY.

Seasonal Fishing
While waiting for the runoff to subside, we hit up some local ponds for a bit of spring panfish on flies. I’m starting to look forward to this every year not only as a way to keep fishing during a normal downtime in the trout schedule but just for the sheer numbers of these little [...]

Off the Hanger: Travel Fishing
At least one of the MAWOI employees (ahem . . .) manages to get out a few times a year to far off lands to do a bit of fishing. Wether its Ontario or Aruba I usually take about 80% of the same gear. Watch: Timex Easy Reader with NATO strap. I’ve been eyeing these [...]

Off the Hanger: Spring Fishing
With any luck the weather will take a turn for the better and we’ll be able to hit the streams soon enough. The bro-in-law is getting geared up (opted for the Scott over the Winston, atta boy) so I thought I’d take stock of my kit for possible upgrades. Hat – Filson (good warm/cool option [...]

Heads or Tails {Trailer} from Mad Phil Media on Vimeo. “Rise” Trailer from Costa Sunglasses on Vimeo. Couple of selections from the upcoming Film Tour I’ll be hitting up next week in Fort Collins.

Elkhorn Fly Rods & Reels
Local company based in Loveland, CO putting out some solid classic designs and affordable modern rods and reels. Great lineup including my new favorite rod setup, the 7 piece travel (no checking required on the plane so when your luggage is sent to Aruba you can at least still fish).

Fly Fishing: Old School, New School
There has to be something said for a sport, which through the years, can be performed equally as well with gear that hasn’t changed for 50 years as it can with the high tech stuff rolling off the shelves today. I do have to admit I’m just as fascinated by the new fishing technology as [...]
