Grateful for good friends and good fishing. The boys tore it up in the dirty water!

Back on IG but haven’t left the river. Swipe to see how high water brown dogs make us feel 🤪

When the foam bug get sucked down and you don’t see any mouth, it’s usually a pretty good sign.

Fish camp always feels like home #flyfishingisfun

Feeling extremely fortunate to have made it to the saltwater this winter. @rileyjanz bringing this permit to hand was an exchange we will never forget. More fuel for the obsession #flyfishingisfun

Busch with a ‘put da team on ma back’ move 🐝 #KillerB #birdgang

‘Round these parts, birds inevitably fly across the river. With Busch still in the cover, I hesitated to pull on this rooster. Watching long-tails cross the river while holding a license and an over under is about as painful as it gets, so I put my faith in Killer B. After whistling him over, running downstream to catch up with the bird and sending him into the slush on a blind retrieve, the Killer made no hesitation and impressively executed. The best part really is working the dog. Or getting shown how to work, by the dog.

No complaints about the so far mild winter. The halfway mark and cold temps have us ready to wet some lines in spring 🧊🐟

A river lake trout. Weirder yet, it went airborne with a full spin. Have you ever seen a laker jump?

Huge thanks to @marcus.mcnaught and his dad Robin for a fantastic day on the Blue Ribbon Bow River. We might be biased, but it doesn’t get any better than this.

Putting a wrap on still water season. Now it’s time to put the raft, drift, and jet to work 🎣

@redwillowoutdoors very own @carsormick was lucky enough to hook and land a beauty lahontan cutthroat trout at the legendary #pyramidlake in a short time fishing while on route to California! Looking forward to open water season back in Alberta!
