Just back from a trip to the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana. The Bob is a complex of three wilderness areas encompassing 1500 square miles in north central Montana on the continental divide. It zooms out of the prairie and tops out at about 8000 feet. Its wild, scenic and has some pretty good fishing for westside cutthroat trout.

Just returned from a brief fly fishing trip to Loreto BCS with a great group of friends. The weather was hot, the fishing hotter and let's say that there were just a few cool beverages and ceviche involved.

I was lucky enough to hike with 9 others through the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in late April and May 2022.
