The Fly-Fishing issue of The Big Sky Journal has just come off the presses, and I’m thrilled to be part of this collection of fly-fishing stories and images for the third year in a row. (Time flies.) This year, fantastic editors Geoff and Seabring helped me curate a story from a photo shoot last April for Orvis, right here in Yellowstone country.
The shoot was a big undertaking; I was lucky enough to have a creative director give me free rein, and it spiraled into a multi-month project of planning, producing, organizing, and shooting, and then getting assets into the Orvis framework and to other publications. The shoot took place in April — a time that can be notoriously rough fishing here in the Bozeman area. I had a fantastic team, including angler/models Phoebe and Jackie and photo assistant extraordinaire Jenny.
Things went down, as they say. Read about a Land Cruiser called Rudy, a day exploring Yellowstone, fishing runoff water, and four girls on a Montana road trip here.

Hi Jess…you know, the “real” first day of spring is the day that Marks In-and-Out opens! Burgers, fries, chocolate shake anyone?
Les, this is very true. I was in Livingston yesterday and looking for the countdown on their sign. We’re not there yet…
I have yet to see this issue on the news stands but just picked up the March/April issue of American Angler and saw your photo on the contents page. Nice shot of the boat and the bugs on the water. Is this a photo from the Headhuntersflyshop days?
Thanks, Jim. That was actually on the Big Hole last spring, fishing with my brother Jake and buddy Ken Stock. Ken’s boat is easy to spot with the eyes…
