If you've fished trout in western Alaska, chances are you've thrown a sculpin imitation a time or two. Sculpins are a primary food source for trout, char, dollies, and grayling on many tundra streams across southwest Alaska. Spending many seasons guiding on rivers ...

Guide season is starting to pick up here in Durango. I have mostly been guiding on the San Juan and the fishing is very good. Midges, big and little, are the name of the game throughout the ...

Conditions on the Animas River are more favorable for fishing than they normally are through the cold month of January. It is definitely winter in the Durango area, but we are not seeing the really cold nights that can turn the river into ...

Hey Zach,
Thought I'd pass this along, especially considering all fish were caught on Idyl bugs (Low Rider, Egg Sucking Sculpin, CDC Caddis, etc!)

I spose’ it was the sight of the last two packages of venison in the chest freezer that sent me into a bit of a fit. We take providing our own protein seriously in our house and reside in ...
