Awesome. Exhilarating. How else can I [Ryan Flair] express having “Eagle Eye” Fred, a top-notch fly-fishing guide, put me on over 20 Permit? After three and a half days on the water, I finally connected with a beautiful Permit. After 30 minutes of a fierce fight, we were shooting pictures. We also crushed big Bonefish, landing several in the 8-lb+ range and seeing several 10 pounders.

The Yellow Dog Fly Fishing team put together the perfect trip for achieving my goal of getting the elusive Permit on the fly—a coup for a fly fisherman. Permit are extremely spooky and finicky about striking a fly; once hooked, their endurance and fight is legendary. Hence they are referred to as the “Holy Grail of Fly Fishing.”

Dressage? In Montana?  When I think of dressage, Princess Anne comes to mind, or the rarely-televised event in the Olympics, or the perfectly green and manicured rings found in …. Connecticut??  New York state?  In fact, as a born and bred ranch girl from Montana, I wasn’t even sure what dressage was, until I attended a show this past summer right here in the Gallatin Valley.  Do I know anything more about dressage today than in August?  The answer is no, but it was the most beautiful combination of balletic grace and athleticism on the part of both horse and rider that I have witnessed.

Fay Ranches is very excited to present our newest Wyoming ranch for sale, Bird Cloud Ranch. This beautiful Wyoming ranch holds approximately one mile on both sides of the famed North Platte River, just a couple miles out of the western town of Saratoga, Wyoming. A couple weeks ago, we had a few hours to fish this stretch of the river and we were pleased with the number of fish held in the seams of the river. Varying sizes of Browns and Rainbow trout were caught and we are looking forward to the fall fly fishing. Recently a couple trophy mule deer were taken on the Wyoming property adding to the recreational features of the Bird Cloud Ranch.

Chip Lenihan and Coble Thurman of the Colorado Fay Ranches office set out on a fly fishing adventure on Coble's family ranch on the Wise River, CO. This stretch of the river is just a few miles from Fay property listing Elk Creek Ranch. A great day was had and they managed to catch a nice brown trout and provide some pictures to prove it. Afterwards, kicking back with a barley flavored beverage.
