I saw this posted elsewhere - the sentiment that the complete closure of these public places represents essentially an affirmation of failure on the part of the natural resource management under the Forest Service/Feds. That is is basically saying we can't manage this with our current resources, so...

I read about the new restrictions yesterday. I'd never heard the term "hoot owl restrictions" before. An old loggers term, I guess.

Good luck. My sister and her husband are going there about the same time. I had 3 out of 4 cutthroats but just couldn't swing the trip into Yellowstone for the 4th species and my Wyoming Cutt Slam. I just imagined lines of cars and a fisherman every 10 yards, where I had fished every other water wit...

Good job in the recovery! Love to see a video

Good luck. I gave up on waders because of the same issue. Or, it was custom order some for over $600 and hope they fit. I just use wading socks now, but mainly for creek/small river fishing. I found some real nice wading socks that come up pretty far on my lower leg. I can post up the name when I ge...

Wow Luc nice fish! Think I like the looks of the Winston too. I'll agree to most of the points here the shorter 6'6" rods for me cast great but as mentioned think they fall short in line control. Currently I've been using a Redington 7'6" 2wt classic trout and like it maybe more than the ...

Get on a sport boat out of San Diego, the bluefin, yellowfin, and yellowtail bites are on fire. My buddy just got a 230 pound bluefin last week!

Wow, that is great customer service!!! Good to know, I was looking at a BA pad a few years ago but went with a Klymit.

Planning on the fishing NE corner, but I'll be entering from the south, so not sure how best to access that area. It looks like a heck of a drive from the South Entrance to the Lamar River area... John Prepare for a long drive. A long slow drive. Add a time cushion for "local traffic" (bu...

That looks awesome!

I'm headed that way in July after the GTW jubilee. Planning on the fishing NE corner, but I'll be entering from the south, so not sure how best to access that area. It looks like a heck of a drive from the South Entrance to the Lamar River area, so I'm not sure of my plan for tackling YNP as of yet....
