Winter is such a fun time to get out on the river and chase bull trout (dolly varden) and steelhead. With massive amounts of spawning, dead and dying salmon in the rivers anything resembling an egg will get slammed by the hyper aggressive and hungry bull trout, cutts, rainbows, and steelhead in the river. Our favorite way to fish this is stripping and swinging flies through likely looking holding spots – behind spawning salmon, little hiding holes, etc.
Strip, strip, strip, WHAM!

Gear is soon to be on the way. In the meantime, we’ve been playing with some new designs for shirts which will be available soon as well. Just in time for Fall and Winter Salmon and Steelhead season. Cheers…
A fine Searun Cutthroat all netted up and ready for release.
From Yellowstone area and along the way.
“Holy %$# that’s a seal!” Moments after hooking up, this large searun cutthroat shot across the surface of the water, a large spotted bogy hot on its tail. All thoughts of landing the fish gone, I stripped line off my reel to slack line and give the fish a chance at freedom from becoming a seals lunch. My plan worked, and minutes later the fish was cradled in my catch and release salmon net. That was a narrow escape. -Nick
Feel like enjoying a nice cold 55% alchohol by volume beer served in a dead animal? It will cost you. $765 to be exact.
It may be all sold out now, but if any lingers on the shelves you can choose between a squirrel, weasel and a stoat. Now this is manly.
For every wader we sell we plant one tree along salmon and trout bearing streams.
