A few weeks back, I found myself on a solo trek into the more remote reaches of a White Mountain creek. Brown trout were active and looking up for terrestrials and a #10 Hopper Juan brought multiple fish to the surface. The serenity of backcountry solitude is not easily duplicated, and I relished the opportunity […]

Rambling Review – Duluth Trading Company Armachillo Gear Why: It’s wicked hot here in Arizona.
