2026 TU Costa 5 Rivers Ambassador Summit Without a doubt the highlight of my year time after time. Thank you @indiflyfoundation & @tucosta5rivers for having me 🎣 #ilovefishin by @wackyrigs
Good gear helps. Good people make an even bigger difference. This year, Joe Tardiff @wackyrigs joined us from @yakodasupply and spent time working directly with participants throughout the Youth Summit. Whether helping on the water, sharing knowledge, or connecting with the next generation of anglers, Joe brought the same passion and enthusiasm that makes the fly fishing community so special. The best part of events like this is the opportunity for young people to learn from those who live and breathe the sport. Conversations on the riverbank, lessons learned on the water, and stories shared throughout the weekend often leave a lasting impact. We are grateful to Yakoda Supply for supporting the Youth Summit and helping create an experience that the participants will remember for years to come. The relationships built through fly fishing are just as important as the skills learned along the way. 📸: @johanndupreez_art #indifly #windriverreservation #indiflycorps #conservation #sustainability by @wackyrigs
Proof of Concept… More to come 🐪 by @wackyrigs
Blueprint is out now! For those that know me know that the @tucosta5rivers Ambassadors Summit has been an instrumental foundation of my life for the last 3 + years. All of us at 5 Rivers are happy to share this fantastic film “Blueprint” by Finn Hall documenting the 2025 summit just as the 2027 summit is right around the corner! Thank you to all that were and those that continue to be such a great part of this event year after year! @finnnhall @indiflyfoundation @troutunlimited @tucosta5rivers @safishandgame @costasunglasses @yeti @simmsfishing @turtleboxaudio @umpquafeathermerchants @freeflyapparel by @wackyrigs
Grateful for the opportunity to host the 2026 Colorado Trout Unlimited River Stewardship Gala last week. Throughout my work with Trout Unlimited I have had the privilege of listen to peoples story’s and asking questions. All of my conversations have boiled down to one main thought “what is good for fish, is good for people” this was said by TU CEO Chris Wood. This thinking has been at the center of my life for the last couple years and having the opportunity to preach that at the gala was amazing. Alongside the gala, I am very excited to join the CTU board of directors as a director at large! Lots of fun fishy things coming! Thank you to all that helped with the gala, and all of my various TU tasks! @troutunlimited @colorado_trout_unlimited @audrey.kenney03 @tucosta5rivers @cwoodtrout by @wackyrigs

2025 TU Costa Ambassador Summit. Just a huge thank you to everyone involved! Thank you to Trout Unlimited, Indifly, Shoshone and Arapaho Fish and Game, and the Kris Rockwell Foundation for bringing us all together. This event has completely changed me the last 2 years, and I can’t be more proud to have been involved. Fingers crossed to make it out next year 🎣 @tucosta5rivers @troutunlimited @indiflyfoundation @johanndupreez_art @safishandgame @skentrockwellfoundation by @wackyrigs
