But they do involve a lot of hours and sweat and plain work, and, when we go fishing, it's not just for fun—though there's plenty of that—it's for fly and tackle and technique testing and photography and requires weeks of preparation and planning.

Our work—which is also our passion—takes us up to places like a great Alaskan river of huge and brawling rainbow trout, the massive Upper Columbia River and its big rainbows, cutthroats, and even brook trout, chilly little Crab Creek rising from underground in the Washington State desert, and the forested clear lakes and rivers of British Columbia ...among others.
We've recorded those adventures in photographs,
and they'll all show up here eventually. So . . .
