Buyer Wanted

Teton Fly Reels is currently going through a temporary transition. Production has temporarily been suspended as a new buyer is being sought. We will, however, continue to honor the warranty as always as long as parts are available. We will also continue to fill orders with the current inventory until production resumes.

Anglers are also asked not to target fish directly below the weir

For the second time in as many years, the Montana
Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks is operating a fish weir on the
Madison downstream of Yellowstone with cooperation from Gallatin
National Forest and funding from PPL Montana.

The primary objective of the weir is to learn
about the characteristics of the fall rainbow trout spawning run" says
Pat Clancey from the FWP field office in Ennis. Most rainbow trout tend
to spawn in the spring, but the Hebgen Lake drainage has many rainbows
that spawn in the fall.

Images of B.C.

Last week's trip to the Bulkley in B.C. generated over a couple of hundred photos so we're going to do a three day series of posts starting with some of the landscape shots. Clicking on the photo will enlarge them to full size.

The first day Case walks the tracks to the boat stashed up river.

Bennett throws one of the week's couple thousand casts.

One of the highlights of the trip was a float down the Bulkley Canyon where we did not see another soul.

The mornings were cold and foggy but things would quickly clear as the sun burned through.

The Bulkley has miles and miles of beautiful steelhead holding water.

I caught a 34 inch hen in this run just after this picture was taken.

Tomorrow we'll post some shots of the fish.

Holy Lures!

One of the most amazing fishing tackle stories of all-time centers on a
group of Franciscan nuns in Ohio who decided to go into the tackle
business. Calling their lures “St. Peter’s Fishing Lures,” they
manufactured and sold a line of 16 different lures, ranging from worms
and jigs to bucktails and plugs. Their amazing story, and the life of
one of the most influential women of the 20th century, is told here.  Via: Fishing for History LINK
