Oh hey, I just got back from standing waist deep in a big river for 7 days straight in Western Idaho. Seeing the sunrise and the sunset for 7 days in a row does really good things for your brain. Doing outdoor hobbies you’re passionate about does really great things for your brain. Having supportive family and friends is a blessing. Steelhead are really cool. They go live in the ocean for a while and then swim like 600 miles up a river through a bunch of STUPID dams to go create life. We should definitely #freethesnake. The CW is a very inspiring place that I will continue to return to for as long as I’m able. I’m thankful for the friends who have shared this place with me and shown me the ropes. Classic flies are cool. Muddlers are the coolest. It was rad hanging with @joshualeroy all week and he was great company. Those are just some thoughts. I hate writing captions. Just scroll through the photos and say hi. 💜

It’s the last day of the local trout season so here’re a few snaps from my last trout outing (trouting?) of the year.

Flyover country is just a little sweeter with old reels and cane rods. IYKYK. 🤌

I always get a little sentimental as the season ends but it’s always nice to get out one last time and reminisce about the special places and critters I had the pleasure of interacting with.

Oh and the sunsets aren’t bad either. taken in Flyover Country by @purple_muddler

I love @h_ngry bags and this new #smörgy2.0 is making all my oversized handlebar bag dreams come true!! 😍

Harry’s attention to detail + fit & finish is second to none and the Aussie pizazz absolutely emanates from every seam.

More pics and trips to come with this big honker but enjoy these night shots for the time being. 😊 by @purple_muddler

A night of real ones w/ @theeseanmurphy. Some real summer makers in there. Really psyched to continue learning about the mouse game and searching for #troutlikethese. 🐁

This @otsocycles Hoot is a party waiting to happen.🕺🪩💃

Built by our in-house photographer and Otso marketing manager @purple_muddler, dare we say this is one of the most elegant hardtails we’ve ever seen?

Equal parts fancy and functional, it’s sporting a 140mm travel @rockshox Pike (silver, or course), @velocityusa Blunt 35 wheels shod with @vittoriatires Mezcal 2.6” tires, @srammtb GX Eagle, the most choice @doom.bars, @wolf_tooth_comp silver everything, Waveform Pedals, Locked-In Bar Ends, @brooksengland Cambium saddle, and a custom @whim_goods frame bag for coffee gear, snacks, and layers.

You can be sure to catch Andrew riding to and from just about every trout stream from here to Wisconsin. Going slow, having fun, carrying everything. @_ramblejamble_ by @purple_muddler

Why do one hobby when you can combine like four at a time?

@otsocycles Fenrir Ti shuttle, @alpacka_raft taxi, all to swing skater flies to hangry smallmouth and snapping photos along the way. Heck of day!
