When I moved from the dark greens of DC to southwestern Montana, it took a while to adjust to the gray-greens and golds of the landscape. And then it became part of my soul 💛 #LamarValley in #Yellowstone is one of the most peaceful places in this country. #BigSky #photography #beauty

Yes, a phenomenal place and great memories despite the tough fishing.

Incredibly difficult. I was mainly just helping my 11-year-old son. Water was very, very low and very clear. He cast well & hooked a couple fish but none landed.

Yes. Quite difficult in the low and clear waters this year.

Great place to also watch Yellowstone Cutthroats leaping up the rapids. Here's Harlequins at LeHardy Rapids. I go to watch them every Spring.

LeHardy Rapids on the Yellowstone River in the Yellowstone National Park. Great place to see harlequin ducks…and we were successful today.

Highly recommend “Peace, Trout & Understanding” by @danosmond.bsky.social His stories capture the ups and downs of the angling life, and reflect a genuine love of fish, rivers and everything that matters. Thanks @jonogborne.bsky.social for the recommendation.

Will this book be available in the United States? Looks like the kind of book I love.

Houndfish. This is a cool fish, but a pain (literally) to unhook & release. I could have caught many more, but avoided them after landing a couple.

I’ll never win an Oscar, but I’ve caught a few.

If you don’t like fishing, you’re following the wrong account.

Peacock bass, caught while fly fishing with guide Justin Nguyen in the Florida Everglades. A highlight of my outdoor life. #flyfishing

Night fishing in Miami for while a huge alligator dines on stinking dead chickens from a voodoo ceremony. Never a dull moment while fishing in Florida.

So crazy…like many aspects of caecilian life.

A tank view of the caecilian I caught in South Florida.

Matthew L. Miller @matthewlmiller.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Perhaps my weirdest catch ever: a caecilian. These aquatic, limbless, mostly sightless amphibians are native to South America but have recently become established in South Florida canals. A real thrill to see one of these creatures up close.

Small Florida gar on the fly. I’ve caught many Florida gar before but this is the first on the fly. #flyfishing

This gator showed up after a very young tourist (age 11-12) dropped her phone in the water. She went and retrieved it out of an Everglades wetland. Thirty seconds later, this gator showed up, and I doubt it was looking for a friend.

Yes, a common confusion. I agree that they look cool, as do bowfin.

Mayan cichlids hit lures & flies fiercely and fight surprisingly hard. Like a turbo-charged bluegill.

Mayan cichlid caught on a Mister Twister.

A chartreuse Mister Twister, believe it or not. I was fishing a shaded canal for jaguar guapote ( which I didn’t find) and caught 2 snakeheads on the twister tail. Nice surprise.

An always reliable companion when fishing in the Everglades.

Large alligator, waiting for me to catch a fish.
