STIO Clothing based out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming had me put together a mission with a few friends to do a backpacking flyfishing trip. I figured the Owyhee River would be the appropriate choice. The area is pretty remote and rugged and that's why I am drawn to it. It took quite a bit of research to figure out where to venture and we just scratched the surface. Besides the fact that one of us almost stepped on a rattlesnake and all of us nearly got heatstroke I think it went pretty well.
My friend Conor McElyea who works with the Conservation Alliance did a little write up on the mission (here). |
