New Video: ALPINE EATS
This trip was one to remember! We hiked into a beautiful alpine lake in the Kootenay region of BC and caught endless small, but feisty rainbow trout. We each kept 4 trout each and were able to enjoy a delicious meal from a truly sustainable and unpolluted source of food. You can check the video out below! We don’t keep our fish often, because many of the streams we fish face many challenges and contain threatened species. However, there are…
New Video: HEAT WAVE
In the midst of a historic heat wave in western Canada, we decided to head to the water in search of some world famous Columbia River Rainbows and some cold water to cool us down. Luckily, the fishing was as hot as the weather and we were able to get into many nice rainbow trout on dry flies. You can check the video out below. Don’t forget to like and subscribe! As mentioned in the video, we decided to fish…

Fly Fishing Dates: A brief history from a heartbroken Bushwhacker
BY: Mark Rossi My girlfriend is the best! She loves to fly fish. We go together every weekend. She packs us lunches and picks the driving playlist…tons of Tragically Hip and Bob Dylan! We talk strategy on the drive out; what flies to start the day off with, what areas of the river she wants to work first, etc… The best part is that she is good! She can sometimes outfish me. At the end of the day we usually…

Welcome to Fly Fishing in the Okanagan
Written by: Mark Rossi I have no idea what I am doing when I’m on the river. And let’s be honest, none of us really do. We all go out fishing thinking we know exactly where the fish will be and what flies to get em with only to have our confidence crushed time and time again by these puzzling little creatures we seem to be transfixed on. I have no idea how I catch fish… but somehow I do,…
Mastering the Art of Pointlessness
Many action sports, recreational activities, and outdoor pursuits could be perceived as completely useless, when examined by outsiders, and the end result of these types of things often accomplish absolutely nothing. This type of behavior might even be considered psychotic or delusional by some in the field of human psychology. Knowing myself, my pursuit of trout is almost certainly born of psychotic behavior. And that’s OK. That’s exactly how I like it. Take rock-climbing, skiing, kayaking, trail running, and of…
Welcome to the Society of Uncompromising Anglers
I remember being a young child of maybe 10 or 11, trekking through the thick brush near the bank of a small trout stream in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, with my dad, my brother, and a small spin-rod in my hand. We had just caught endless tiny brook trout in a small pond that I will always remember. My father thought he would challenge us with some moving water, and although I now forget the name of that…
