We have been fly fishing the Madison River in early July 2024 and it’s been HOT! Not the fishing…the temperature! I’m guessing you experienced the same high temperatures where you live too. But here we are, enjoying the wade section which includes $3 Bridge, West Fork, and Lyon’s Bridge. The elevation is just over 6,000…
We starting our 2024 fly fishing road trip a week ago. If you’re a regular here at RiverKeeper Flies, you know we fly fish the Madison River, MT in early July. Our route this year, took us up Lolo Pass along the Lochsa River, ID into the Bitterroot Valley, MT. The Lochsa was a little…
I’ve been taking a lot of pictures while on the water in the last couple of weeks. We haven’t seen many fish rising, so I watch the river to see what catches my eye. I pack a couple extra lenses with me and pull them out to capture a variety of pictures. Thanks for all…
I spent some time at the vise recently, filling my final customer orders before we head out on our Fly Fishing Road Trip in a few days. Some of those flies found their way into the provider box for Dancingtrout and me to use when the fly boxes we carry have a few holes in…
Here are the final images from Iceland. Our visit was timed with the annual bird migration. While not a “birder”, I find them beautiful and admire the coloration.

We’ve been out on our favorite river fishing the Green Drake hatch. The catching has been minimal so I’ve had my camera in hand capturing images of Green Drakes on the water and in flight. I thought I’d share some of them with you. The image above is the exception because we haven’t seen that…
In this week’s images from Iceland, I’ll share a few images of waterfalls, Icelandic horses, and glaciers. I share the image above to remind you we were on a photography tour. This is what happens when the van stops and all of us get off with cameras and tripods in hand! Waterfalls Skógafoss Falls Dettifoss…
I picked up a new fly fishing pack last week from my friend Jeff Perin at The Fly Fisher’s Place here in Sisters. I’ve been needing to replace my Temple Fork Outfitters waist pack because I’ve worn it out! What a problem to have, right? I purchased an Umpqua Northfork 5L pack. I fish a…
I hope you were able to read this week’s post, Fly Fishing the Iceland Highlands. We spent several days touring the island before our fishing experience started. Below, I share some images from Iceland. Iceland has been on our list to visit and an opportunity presented itself at the end of 2023. If you have…
