Every year is different on the Madison. September is a time of dynamic weather in Montana when you can get a sunburn one [...]

Nobody has an office with a better view… It’s been a long season of guiding so far. I don’t think there are many tears shed for us while we spend most of our days on trout streams in the Smoky Mountains or floating the tailwaters in a drift boat. Still we don’t get to actually [...]
