Found the following over on ThisRiverIsWild. Not the sort of thing I usually post—swaggish vid posts—but I am legitimately jealous about this. Also, I wish to hell I knew where they were… and respect the hell out of them for not revealing that juicy bit of info. Seeing the awesomeness of this particular post you [...]

Amateur Bones…
A little video one of our guests cooked up on a recent trip to our little rock. (Yes, we actually get people wanting to fish with us… yeah, we don’t get it either, but it keeps the bartenders happy!) Just to be clear, this was on his own after a little bit of guiding from [...]
