It seems like every time I turn around, there's another attempt afoot to limit public access to rivers. The battle is really heating up in Utah right now. And that's just sad, because there's no way for me to see how privatizing public natural resources—and that's really what this boils down to—can possibly be an act of good faith. How we collectively approach the issue of stream access is either going to keep fly fishing alive for generations or effectively kill the sport dead within years.

One of the great honors of my fishing life was to not only meet the legendary Frank Moore, but to actually fish with him on the North Umpqua River in Oregon. I did that a few years back with my buddy, Tyler Palmerton (seen here with Frank). Yesterday, Tyler forwarded me this video news clip that ran on Frank several weeks ago. It's a pretty amazing piece on a truly remarkable man, who turned 90 years old not long ago. I wanted to say Happy Birthday to Frank. There is no finer gentleman in all of fly fishing.

I love fishing with guides, because a day spent with a great guide can teach you lessons that are far more valuable than the day rate, or the photos taken of the fish you actually land. Many of my favorite guides live and work in the Bahamas. Granted, it's hard not to be enjoying the moment when you're wading the Bahamian bonefish flats. But these guys are the masters of keeping things low key and relaxed, even in some of the most challenging casting and fish spotting conditions in the world.

This video comes to us from friend and fellow piscatorial pen pusher Ben Romans.  You might remember Ben from his trip this past summer in the Bob Marshall Wilderness for bull and cutthroat trout. Ben sent us this video a while back and apparently this "river tsunami" happened right before Christmas on the Gallatin River.
