WY HUNTING & FISHING: “The Tug Is The Drug – It’s Streamer Time On The North Platte River”
Thanks to Platte River Fly Shop & Mark Boname Photography for our latest installment in our look at Wyoming hunting & fishing! Fall is definitely known as “trophy trout time” on the North Platte River Tail Waters and it’s one of our favorite times to fish.

Photo by Mark Boname Photography Streamer fishing is probably our most favorite way to fish the North Platte because it produces so many large fish. As the river drops this fall, the lower flows will give…

The Life & Times of WLM — The Killer Casper Wasp (Yes, it was a KILLER!!! Quit laughing!) :)
Well, Levi is going to kill me for posting this one…but that’s okay.

We arrived a little early and made our way through our distribution points in Casper, dropping off loads of extra copies. (Sadly, this is about as close as we get to a vacation sans babies anymore.) 🙂 As we left Country Charm Gift Shoppe,…
