This week we traded in the #SundayShorts feature for a #MondayMusings video we think you’ll really like. See what happens when an idea consumes you to the point you have to do something about it!

A Quest Like None Other...

It’s easy to say we’ve all set out to accomplish a challenging task at least once in our life. It may have taken us to new places, made us realize we had more in us, etc. That is exactly what Terry Myers set out to do a few years back. Living just above the banks of the Salmon River in Idaho with her husband Jerry on their ranch, she is an avid fly fisher. However, caring for their ranch considering they didn’t get electricity on it until recently takes up a lot of time, but for Terry when the steelhead start running in the river she darts off to her local waters and the chores get picked up by Jerry.

One day she decided to start off on a quest, a very challenging quest that started out as a little idea. She wanted to try and catch a wild steelhead on a different river each month. It sat on the back burner slowing heating up until one day the proverbial pot boiled over and she pitched the idea to Jerry. This quest would prove to be quite difficult. Ready to see what came of this idea?

"There is only one reason in the world to go fishing: to enjoy yourself. Anything that detracts from enjoying yourself is to be avoided."  -- Leigh Perkins

Watch below to see the story of the adventure whilst learning about how changing climate is impacting steelhead and many other species of fish. WARNING it’s an hour long one this time. When you’re done let us know what quest or challenge you would like to complete in the near future. We’d love to see what ideas you have cooking!

PS. We are thinking about moving the Sunday Shorts feature to Mondays and calling it “Monday Musings.” Let us know whether it works better for you on Sunday or Monday.

Atlantic Chrome...

The “Sunday Shorts” feature is back with an interesting gem of a video. Saw this one a few months back when it came on the scene, but life and fishing was in the way of sharing this with you.

This week’s video takes on a trip to a magical place located deep in South America, chasing Atlantic steelhead in the Santa Cruz river. I know I did a double-take at the term Atlantic steelhead as steelhead conjures visions of the Pacific northwest. This video combines breathtaking scenery and adventure. Big long loops from two-handed rods yields some beautiful chrome giants brought to hand. If you’re anything like us you wish you were packing a bag and catching a flight straight away. Sit back and enjoy this week’s Sunday Short.

Let us know what you want to see in next week’s video.
