Why I haven't made a post in a while

  I recently realized that I hadn't made a post on here in about a month. Truth is I don't have much to write about, I haven't been fishing in a long time and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep doing the featured video of the week anymore. I'll probably be getting a lot more inspiration around May. Just thought I would put this stuff out there.

Shout Out to Lost River Outfitters (Ketchum, ID)

  I'm making this post to thank everyone who works at Lost River Outfitters in Ketchum, Idaho. They've helped me out with everthing from where to fish, what patterns to use, and what techniques to fish with. They've also given me some free fly patterns. Everyone who works there is 100% awesome! I strongly suggest you go there for anything and everything, from guiding to, flies, from rods to waders!

Featured Video of The Week: February 1, 2013

  Welcome back for the first episode of the Featured Video of The Week for 2013. I was torn on what video to pick because I feel like there should be some season opener videos but I could only find one. Just the coincidence it's my favorite channel,  here it is:

Postponing Video of the Week

I know that they've been some of my most viewed posts but Im only postponing them until February.
There isn't a whole lot of new video and the Midges aren't out yet. I'm going to get a trip in to the Big Wood and hopefully film some great midge action.

Thank You!

  It's New Years Eve but theres something more important for me. I'm about to come up on the 1000th page view for this blog. I've had people from Russia and Germany view. Also, I don't track my own page views so its fair. We're getting about 7 page views averagely for a day which means its grown alot (I know its not a ton but I never expected I would get any readers)! In the end all I wanted to do was say Thanks!

Gear Review: San Juan Chest Pack

  The fishpond San Juan chest pack is one of my favorite chest packs. Even though its no giant it still holds lots of gear. It costs about $50.00 . Its 180 cubic inches. 
  On the front it has a mesh pocket for easy access items such as tippet and weights. On the front pocket it has fishpond's signature zip-down fly bench. Some people don't like it but I think its cool. In the main pocket it has one loose fitting mesh pocket and a large zippered compartment for important items such as licences and phones. 
  The San Juan is really good in external attachment points. It has two tabs to put zingers and with little loops under them for nippers or forceps. There are also two other loops, one on top of the main pocket and one above the front pocket.
  For wearing it the San Juan has a belt loop which people tend to dislike (can't argue). It also comes with two length-adjustable straps for wearing around your neck and waist. The straps seem abrasve and scratch at my neck but I fixed that with some Mossy Oak Duck Tape.
  Overall the San Juan is a 10 out of 10. For a video review go to the following link: https://vimeo.com/channels/fishingthenorthwest
