Western Rivers:
Another all-nighter in the car. You would not have slept anyway. For the last few miles you roll the windows down. The Missouri flats on both sides of the two lane highway fill your senses. You gaze into the night through a windshield heavily laden with crushed caddis, a telltale sign that you have been traveling in trout country. Bleary-eyed, you finally cross the bridge at the pass. Slowing down to make that familiar left turn, you’ll park and get out to feel and hear the river as it passes before you. It’s a ritual repeated every time you arrive here.

In this part of the country, mornings arrive cool and crisp. Mid-days heat drives the winds that will leave you at times cursing. Wind notorious for challenging the best of casters are equally hard on the big salmon flies that have you here at this particular time of year evry year. Clumsy in flight, they crash to the water seeking shelter they’ll never find. A vicious take just up river gives the trout’s position away. Unhooking the #4 Salmon Fly from the hook keeper you work out line to where you last saw the trout. Given the wind, the size of the river and #4 flies that are needed, this is by no means delicate fly fishing.

Big rods that can handle big flies, manuever trout in strong currents and drive the fly through the wind are the order of everyday in Western Rivers country. For what may start out clear and calm is only a false window of what may possible lie ahead. Reels with enough backing to chase a good sized brown down stream and a smooth drag will greatly aid your chances of success. Western Rivers deliver some of the most stringent of fly-fishing conditions and situations. The equipment, clothing and accessories we use for Western Rivers have stood the test of time, allowing us to fish effectively and comfortably no matter what the day may bring.
