Just got back from Edinburgh, I think this was my favorite piece of architecture. Was built in early 16th century and now it’s an ice cream shop. #edinburgh #scotland #bluesky #icecream

Beautiful Haleakala. We hiked out to the Paliku Cabin and camped a couple nights a few years back. Didn’t catch any fish. :P #photography #travel #flyfishing #Hawaii #bluesky

It’s still over 8 million people, but that’s acceptable. Got me!

In 2026 I think most people are working three jobs, playing fishing mobile games while they deliver packages kind of guy.

Second fly I’ve ever tied. Nothing but Crystal Flash tied on horribly and some dumbbell eyes. And the fish in Hawaii loved it! #flyfishing

Why the fuck does anyone want to leave this planet to go to Mars, or anywhere else? I’m inside right now and I still feel too far away from Earth, about to go outside and lay on the grass. #earth #nasa #tuesday #climatecrisis #mars #nature #flyfishing #bluesky

I’ve been exclusively fly fishing for a few years now but never been interested in tying my own flies. Having gear fished my whole life, I just buy what I need. Welp, I tried it. It ain’t pretty, but it’s mine. And I immediately understand why it’s fun. #flyfishing #flytying #pnw #bluesky

Two fisherman standing in a river waving sticks around like idiots. Beautiful scenery of a river and mountains in the background.

Poor girl got spayed and I’m leaving her to go fly fishing all weekend. At least she’s high AF on painkillers and sedatives. #goldenretriever #pnw

I’ve been using the new app and really love it. I went fishing a couple months ago and realized I didn’t have the new Steelhead endorsement after driving an hour to a river that required it. Got my phone out and had my endorsement in digital form in a few minutes. Saved my day.

There was a human fly fishing today so we sat and watched for a while. Then one of us tried to eat a dead crab, so we had to go home. #flyfishing #pnw #goldenretriever #photography #beach #Sunday

My guilty pleasure brunch. I fry the sourdough in olive oil to match the smoked sardines. I come from generations of Croatian fishermen, maybe it’s genetic? #croatian #pnw #fisherman #fishing #food #photography #puppy

Sometimes you have a bad day on the water. Nothing is going your way and you feel like you suck at fly fishing. Just remember, you do suck at fly fishing. #flyfishing #pnw #bluesky

Quick double-haul tip from Captain Chris Meyers: Don't let your hands get too far apart on the back cast, or that'll rob you of the line tension you need to start bending the rod immediately on the forward casting stroke.

I envision someone making a really edgy fly fishing film about catching the last Steelhead on Earth. It’s gonna be huge at Sundance.

The mental gymnastics needed by NOAA to look at abysmal steelhead returns on the Olympic Peninsula and the habitat challenges they face, and determine while they're at moderate risk of extinction in the next 40-60 years they shouldn't today be given ESA is beyond. midcurrent.com/2026/02/16/o...

Olympic Peninsula Steelhead Won't Get ESA Protection—Despite "Moderate Risk of Extinction" | MidCurrent
NOAA's decision not to list OP steelhead under the ESA has conservation groups reviewing legal options and demanding immediate action from state and tribal co-managers — all while the peak of the wild winter run is underway. Image by Hone Creative
