Recent rains caused the latest Smith River trip to get cancelled. As part of 'PLAN B' we did a two day float down another river. I was lucky enough to get invited to fun float with my friend John along on the trip. The water was high and cloudy, but on the drop and clearing. This river doesn't have a ton of fish, but a reputation for big fish. John and I had never been on it be...Read More...

That's what one of my friends who guides in Montana told me about streamer fishing for big browns in the fall. So in preparation for my trip over to the Missouri headwaters I've been tying up some monstrosities. While I'm not looking forward to casting these beasts, they sure are fun to tie! I used Trina's Sculpin Bulletheads with 30 lb. wire connecting the trailer hook. I...Read More...

By: Kevin McKay
I heard a whisper, “Kev, hey Kevin, let’s go.” The camper was still dark and you could hear my mom and sister stir but, they stayed in bed. As dad and I got dressed you could feel the camper rock as we put on our pants. We opened the camper door slowly trying no to make any noise but, the door made a slow creaking sound. As we stepped out of the camper we could still see the amber burning in th... Read More...

Tait and Jax jumped into the pool outside, the steam rose into the air and Kevin waded in behind them. The temperature was a cool 40 degrees while the water must have been closer to 80. It was sunny with a crystal clear, blue sky, the mountains were watching us from a distance and I was in a lawn chair with my winter jacket on and my shades, awaiting a massage. This my friends, is the “good ...Read More...
