It shouldn’t be taboo to talk about public lands ranching. We’ve been sold a bill of goods about what it is. This isn’t about someone’s cattle on private land. And it’s not about ranching east of the 100th meridian, where it makes more sense. What we’re talking about is private livestock grazing on public lands in the arid West—a taxpayer-funded, ecologically disastrous industry hiding behind a cowboy myth. It’s the most widespread commercial use of our public lands. It’s propped up by federal subsidies. And it’s dominated by corporations—billionaires, multinational agribusiness, and political insiders with grazing allotments stretching across entire counties. It’s not as flashy as a mine or a drilling rig, but it’s every bit as extractive. And the costs? Wolves. Coyotes. Grizzlies. Prairie dogs. Native trout. Sage grouse. Wild horses. Beavers. Mormon Crickets. The Endangered Species Act itself. All sacrificed for one industry’s bottom line. And yet we’re told it’s taboo to talk about. It’s not un-American. It doesn’t make you a tree-hugging vegan. Here’s the truth: more than 98% of U.S. beef comes from private land and feedlots—mostly in places like Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Just 1.6% comes from cattle grazed on federal public lands in the West. This isn’t about feeding the nation. It’s about a privileged few exploiting public land for private profit—while the public pays the price in extinction, erosion, and ecological collapse. Grazing on public lands isn’t a right. It’s a policy choice. One made at the discretion of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. And it’s long past time we questioned it, and pushed back hard against the spin.

Time stops here. This is our happy place, while fishing, the noise fades and the lines of the real world disappear. Fishing isn't just a hobby, it's a cheat code for life. It helps remove stress, relieve anxiety and reset the psyche. It gives us perspective. We constantly dream of this. It’s our ultimate happy place, a necessity, to relax, reset, and recharge. It's WILD how something brings us so much SOLACE, for what feels like minimal effort. Tag someone that could use a bit of fishing in their lives? FOLLOW @finesse_anglers Our M-Aire is a constant on our visits to Pyramid Lake. The last 3 years it has seen a lot of action. We are thinking of adding another "Native Trout" spinning setup, maybe Tenryu, RodioCraft or possibly another M-Aire? What are your thoughts? #PyramidLake #PyramidLakeNevada #NevadaFishing #SutcliffeNV #RenoTahoe #LahontanCutthroatTrout #LCT #TrophyTrout #BiggestTrout #PyramidLakeTribe #FlyFishing #PyramidLakeFlyFishing #LadderFishing #StripSet #Indicators #ChironomidFishing #Jigging #Trolling #BankFishing #Fishing #TroutFishing #AnglerLife #GoneFishing #CatchAndRelease #TightLines #FishOn #WorldClassFishery #DesertOasis #PyramidLakeOpener #HardWaterFishing

Fish can be smaller tackle will be lighter, but the satisfaction of hooking a native trout on a small flies is great feeling . This is just my opinion fish however you want. Just keep chipping away at it & focus on the positive.. Fishing therapy is a nature-based activity that can help with mental health by reducing stress. Like & follow if not that’s cool. . . . . . #risenflyfishing #flyfishingcalifornia #flyfishingaddict #flyfishingjunkie #flyfishing #losangeles #redingtonflyrods
