South Fork Boise – Prelude to Fishing

March 29, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

I never thought a female would become such an integral part of our spring excursions (which I kind of think of as a “guy” thing). But Judie is starting to become a part of our Idaho fishing world.

Your Summer River Fix All Season Long

Dry Fly Media has an interesting DVD series (Rivers In Motion) they introduced a couple of months ago. They have a nice offer to bloggers that we could receive a free copy if we would review it for them. Being a sucker for free stuff, I had them send me a copy of “The Gallatin.” [...]

Logan River Report – July 15, 2008

Logan River (above 3rd Dam at the DeWitt picnic area) July 15, 2008 Water has great color. The current is strong but I was able to wade from bank-to-bank in this stretch. Some places the current was strong enough to make me work hard, so if you are not a strong wader, be careful! I [...]
