An awesome time in Iceland a few weeks ago with Fish Partner and a quiver of Epic Fly Fish rods.

Four fisheries, ten days. Not much sleep, but plenty of time on both the camera and the fly rod. The fly-fishing industry is an odd one. We’re a diverse community, made up of a wide spectrum of anglers spread around the world. Sometimes, when we’re very lucky, we form friendships that morph into...

Flying back on the redeye from Alaska this morning, after spending the past week helping build at . We only logged two days of fishing (and we made the most of the two days!) but the porch evenings with this crew were hard to beat. A solid week on the tundra… and it’s downright weird now, being back in civilization.

I can’t remember the last time I got to fish with three other ladies. A couple days ago here at with , , , and I headed out to hike and fish for the day. We caught plenty of grayling and Dolly Varden, had plenty of visits from curious bears, and laughed our way through one hot, sweaty, boggy hike, then picked cloudberries before picked us up in the Helio. What a fun day with an awesome group of go-get-em women.

Up this week in Alaska with and of course we had to stopover at Brooks Falls. Special to see this year’s epic sockeye run set against the famed falls and bears. We’re fishing, building, working, and shooting this week… nice to unplug from the busy world a bit.

Flying north to a different kind of far-northern landscape today, but writing and editing Iceland articles as I travel. It’s a treat to drop the cameras and pick up a rod sometimes, and it was a double treat to have this chill day on the water with friends.

Big thanks to .flyfishing for capturing this shot of a gorgeous Arctic char a few weeks ago in The Land of Ice and Fire, at ’s awesome Highlands Lodge.
