Fly Fishing Slough Creek's Backcountry! Hoppers, Bear Sightings, Yellowstone Cutthroats and No Crowds!

Da Bears and The Perfect Yellowstone Getaway

Slough Creek was one of our top destinations...why you ask? If you haven't been to Slough Creek you have been missing out. It's been one of my favorites since fishing there countless times while I lived there years ago. Yes it can get crowded, yes it can fill up as far as camping areas and yes, there could be bears. If those are a deterrent than plan ahead and escape the crowds for some superb dry fly fishing and escape to the wild. We had a great time there and though it wasn't true to form as far as risers everywhere, late Summer angling pressure and weather played a part into it being slower than normal. Nonetheless I had a blast and we all pretty much netted a number of quality Cutthroats. Then again if you come here expecting numbers and easy fishing, you may come away with a bruised ego. They can be hard to catch but if you've done your homework and work for em, who knows what the day will bring.


Donny B watching a few risers while mr Buffalo keeps his distance as we finish out the day. Clark finished the day with one of the nicer Cutty's he caught. Yellowstone Cutthroats on Grasshoppers is pretty darn hard to beat!


We had the place to ourselves for most of the day and between catching a fair amount of trout and finishing the day out with risers around us, I couldn't think of a more suitable place to sit back relax whether one caught fish or not.

1st Meadow of Slough Creek. Nice place to gaze and watch Cutty's swimming by but our main objective was to pass up this area and keep hiking! We headed towards the 2nd meadow for some meadow fun fishing and Canyon crawling. This guy was one of about 10 I caught in a hole, almost every cast I hooked one in that section, crazy and my video of it should be uploaded soon for you to watch.

Practicing my Bear spray on dummy tester Cobos! No bear sightings but plenty of bear scat around and a few tracks down by the river. More on Slough Creek on my FFA website with a complete recap as well as a 2nd posting this week on Slough since we had a "Slough" -no pun, of pictures from this great area.

Slough Creek is located in the Lamar Valley, this small campground area if not hiking, is a great for watching wolves, Buffalo and getting your dry fly fix. The campground is open from late May until October, with roughly 29 camping sites. Soda Butte also has sights needed if there is an overflow from Slough. If camping backcountry make sure to call ahead and get your permits, they go fast if there are bear sightings lately, they may move you up to another meadow.

Summer Yellowstone Adventure! Fly Fishing Top Waters From The Madison, Yellowstone, Gallatin and Slough Creek

It's Time To Get The Boys Together

It's been a few too many years since I've been able to get back to my favorite stomping grounds of Yellowstone. My Pals were itching to find another local spot to hit this late Summer and when it came to me early in the Year....it's been close to 20 years since I called YNP home; no other choice was a possibility!

*This week FFA will be highlighting our trip each day with a new Location, feel free to checkout our posts each day on locations visited such as: the Yellowstone River, Yellowstone National Park, Slough Creek, Madison River Valley and the Gallatin River.



The playas were able to make it and though I had two close calls that bailed towards the end due to newborns and moving, we were able to put together a great crew for some memorable Fly Fishing Adventures. Whether it was Clark whom made the trek out from Minnesota for 3 whole weeks or others from Georgia; they were scattered all over the place. The fish never had a chance with these fishing phenoms. Brian made it from Minnesota as well, Dave from D town, myself and Donny B from Atl.





Think of Yellowstone and 2 words (okay more like 50) come to mind, bears and Buffalo's to look out for. Fortunately we only encountered the Buffs, it's always a riot to see these guys all over and even more so when we were awoken one morning by one walking feet from our tent waking us up!
Whether it was waiting patiently on the hwy for one to move along or others whom camped out at our campspot for breakfast, they were always seemingly entertaining.



Yellowstone Cutthroats on dry flies, does it get any better than an impressive Cutty shooting up 5 feet like a missile to attack a grasshopper....what an experience!



Canyon Village is my old haunt and visiting Lower Falls over the years never gets old. An experience everyone should try is to hike into 7 Mile Hole "7 Mile Hell" locals call it (14 miles rt) and exploring any section if Yellowstones Canyon is quite an experience when targeting nice trout.

More great pictures of Yellowstone National Park, trout pictures, the Firehole River and more here at Fly Fish Addiction's YNP Section.

When Is It Time To Say Goodbye...That Is To Old Fly Fishing Gear?

Should I Stay or Should I Go

We've all been there, it's been a few years, you've had the best times together, they've been reliable and always come through for you. Now the question comes to mind, is it time?

Whether it's a trusty fly rod, fly fishing cap, favorite fishing boots or perhaps one of the most important pieces, your waders? If you're like a majority of fly fishers out there most of your gear should last you awhile, if you have good stuff it really should last you a few years. Some try and repair waders/boots themselves which can also save some time and money. If you're like myself and my fishaholic friends, your time table can be a bit shorter. I've had my Patagonia boots for only 2 years now and they're more than done. Before leaving on my week long Yellowstone trip last week I was in a bit of a bind. I forgot to replace my Patagonia's and buy a new pair. But they're Patagonia gear, I can send them back for a new pair, great if only I had remembered to do that before a big trip and to send in like I do for my Patagonia waders.

Good luck with wearing down your gear and remember one thing, super glue/duct tape ;) can do wonders if properly added to the right areas! Invest in your equipment and it will never let you down, that goes without saying, especially ones with great return policies. If you casually fish a most companies will do a good job, so there's always something out there for all levels and checkbooks whether at Sierra trading post or your local fly shop.

Mile High Music Festival..Backstage With Dave Matthews

Mile High Privileges

It just hit me, the Mile High Music Festival is almost here and I forgot the biggest thing to take care of....call for my passes! With work so busy and getting ready for a big trip my mind has been elsewhere. After some calls from my girlfriend the topic went "did you get the backstage passes yet?" My frantic last minute call to a close friend of the band came through for us and soon I had 4 passes to the best show in town!



Dave puts on one of his last shows for awhile here in the Mile High City

It does help to know family members of the band and get a special treat to one of the Hottest tour bands of the decade! I've been watching Dave for what seems like 20 years now starting in Athens at the Superjam...man I'm old and no matter how many times I get to see him and friends at the shows, I always walk away with "Boy was that an amazing show he put on again!"



It's hard to beat an afternoon in the Rockies and even better when it's 82' all day with a
constant breeze and jacket weather when the sun sets here a Mile above sea level. Great shows all day long from Jimmy Cliff, Railroad Earth, Weezer, Phoenix and many more that day!


VIP after party, this is where it's at and better yet free drinks and Food!


Our own little spacious area next to friends, family members, cameras and soundcrew, or being surrounded by thousands in a mosh pit hmmm a no brainer there!



We're going to miss the band and seeing them on tour again. Hopefully they take a few years off and get the itch to tour again. Thanks for the memories and keeping the Mile High Music Festival a favorite by all each Summer.

It's Patagonia Time! Great Specials For Fishing In Patagonia Whether in Chile or Argentina

Tres Piedras Has It All For The Finest Fishing Around

What's on everyones top Fly Fishing destination bucket list? If Patagonia isn't on your list something is seriously wrong with you. Whether you're a beginner, a worldwide angler or simply someone that enjoys traveling and fishing new waters, this is your place!

My last trip to Patagonia still resonates with me every time I talk to someone about my next big fishing trip or my favorite trip to date. What is it about fishing in one of premiere locations on Earth you ask? Could it be the gorgeous scenery? The remote fishing locations? Incredible wines or Argentina beef? Or perhaps one of the best outfitters around born and raised in this area as well as being fluent in English...I think I was won over my first day there and never wanted to leave.





Checkout some incredible shots from past trips with Tres Piedras. Chile has countless bodies of water in the Lake District, as well as in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. We can guarantee that as you arrive to Patagonia, you will encounter many of the finest places for Fly Fishing in the country.

Indeed, in Patagonia there are many of those options for fly fishing: pristine and clear crystal waters in the rivers, lakes, streams, and lagoons. Most of these spots are accessible only by boat and have therefore remained relatively untouched by people.



Argentina is the fifth largest producer of wines in the world and the second largest in Latin America behind Chile so you can only imagine how good your lunch and dinner cocktails will be. Whether it's the savory Wine to cherish or the asado beef that you can't get enough of fireside, Tres Piedras can definitely customize each meal to meet your needs and having you saying wow a few 100x!




A lifetime fishing throughout the entire country, and ten years experience serving clients allow them to meet all expectations for fishing trips. A high return rate year after year and with only a few bookings left for the next season; contact us today to find out more! Be assured that we seek excellence in service, and try to acquaint our guests with Chilean Culture.

To satisfy the most common needs we have arranged four different kind of fishing packages, ranging from day trips to trips lasting up to a week. We also offer anglers the choice to take longer customized trips. Request complete information about prices, fishing, fishing destinations, species, equipment and all information you need to make a decision.

Whether you're looking for a few days away from the wife while down on vacation in Patagonia, a 7 day experience like no other in the far away reaches in search of huge trout, gorgeous scenery and solitude; or a package built to meet your needs, Tres Piedras has everything for you and your party!

The counties of Llanquihue are known for fly-fishing spots such as the Petrohue, Puelo, Cochamo and Maullín rivers, the Llanquihue, Rupanco and Todos Los Santos Lakes. All of these places are incredible for fly-fishing, however, there still remain hundreds of areas not yet discovered by the majority of fishers that are as good and sometimes better than the ones commonly known.

Contact me and I can pass along some great specials Tres Piedras has going on for the Upcoming season in Patagonia. With bookings filling up contact us today whether for more information, price specials or more about Tres Piedras. What's the worst that can happen, maybe you can start planning now for a trip of a lifetime!

Big Trout on The Gunnison River!

Monster Colorado Trout

This Monster Rainbow came out of the Upper Gunnison and is one of the biggest trout ever caught on this section of river. Caught this Summer by Jay Sherman with guide Jason Booth from the Gunnison River Guides.

This story was brought to us by our Pals at The Trophy Stalkers! I love to fish the Gunnison River Valley each Fall, whether in the Black Canyon during this magical Fall period each year or up on some tributaries. The Trophy Stalkers and I had a great time this past Spring catching pigs together and catching up. Can't wait to meet up the guys again sometime soon!

Colorado Summer Weekend Getaway! From The Sawatch Range & Collegiate Peaks Region

Break From Fishing, Okay Maybe a Little

Denver has been heating up and so has my House so what better time to head to the hills for a little getaway, break from the heat, primitive camping and fun with the Gals. One of the prettiest areas around -okay Colorado has many, is the Sawatch Range here in Colorado. It's time to enjoy some great scenery, a few drinks and cool days in the Hills!


Not a bad place to spend for the weekend! Surrounded by 12 14rs (Coloradans call
14,000 foot peaks 14rs) this place was the ticket for relaxation.


Camping in Cottonwoods and by a creek without crowds is what many hope for in the Rockies during the Summer and that's just what we got. Yes the masses do show up everywhere but with a little planning, some driving and patience, one can be rewarded.


Callibaetis mixed with midges for some late afternoon action. Perfect way to spend a weekend from the big city having fun in the Sawatch Range. For those looking for a nice getaway without having to drive 7 hours to the San Juans this is the place.
