For my 40th birthday, we headed to Yellowstone National Park to chase cutthroat trout in one of the most iconic streams in the park: Slough Creek.
It had been on my list for years, and this trip delivered everything I hoped for and a few things I wasn’t ready for. It was tough, beautiful, technical, and humbling. But also a total blast. We fished hard for two days and walked away tired and sore, but it was worth it. Here’s what I learned up there, and why every fly angler should make the trip at least once.
There’s something about those first warm pockets of spring that shake off the winter haze and wake you up—especially if you’re a trout angler in Missouri. The creeks run a little clearer, the sun hits the water just right, and before you know it, you’re rolling up your waders or ditching them entirely.
As anglers, we know that the right fly can make all the difference between a great day on the water and going home empty-handed. That's why we’ve teamed up with Feather Craft in St. Louis, MO, to bring you the ultimate Trout Fly Tin. This tin isn’t just another fly box – it’s a carefully curated selection of 10 premium hand-picked flies designed to cover a variety of fishing conditions, from mountain streams to local rivers, complete with a custom black steel tin.
With spring and summer approaching, anglers are gearing up for long days on the water. Whether you're paddling remote lakes, winding rivers, or coastal flats, having the right gear can make or break your experience. If you're heading out for a long float-and-fish day from a kayak, canoe, or any other floating vessel, here’s how you can maximize your trip with simple, effective gear—like the Bare Fishing Sling Pack.
