Remote, way out there, untouched, in the middle-of-nowhere: Jurassic Lake Argentina. It seems long dirt roads to get to prime fishing locations were my forte while traveling Argentina. Each and every dirt road...

I tugged on my waders and thought, "isn't it summer here in Argentina?" It was cold and had been snowing as the guide picked me up from my hotel. I was in Tierra del Fuego and the southern most city in the...

If Nate and I had been lacing up baseball cleats instead of wading boots we would have struck out. I'm not gonna lie, if I knew we'd end up spending our day fishing for carp on the fly I probably would have...

It was supposed to be a quick trip, in and out. We figured the lake would be primed and ready to go with the recent cold weather snap, hoping the brook trout would be cruising the shallows before spawning....

Kicking it at Kyle's GP's house in Southern Utah was like waking up to a private brown trout heaven. Like most ranchers I've met, Kyle's grandparents had welcomed us into their home, fed us country style and...

Long drives and simple food seem to be the weekend ritual for me recently.  I got word from a good friend of mine that he and some friends were heading to the Boulders to do some fall Boulder Mountain...

Back at it again!  I met up with a few friends and headed out to a lake known for big brook trout.  Let's just state char might be the most amazing fish ever... just saying.  There is just something about...

Montana! This past week I got the chance to head home to Montana for a family function. I had been talking with a friend who guides in the area so we could meet up in my down time and fish. Over the past...

Things have been, well crazy here but, I had the opportunity to head up to Montana for the week of July 4th.  Water has been incredibly high due to massive amounts of snow and almost all the rivers in...

Things have been crazy for us at OSF.  We've appreciated the emails and for the continued feedback.  Posts won't be as numerous as we'd like over the next couple months but we promise to make up for it!!...
