Hey Guys!

🦦 “One of Those Days”
📣 Cause: Direct Relief
📽️ The Green

Thanks for spending even just a little of your week with us. We are grateful for you!
Stay Legendary,
- The GFW Boys
How often have you found yourself muttering, “…one of those days.” What were you yammering on about?
We’ve all had those days out on the river, when we show up with the hope of what will surely be an epic day! After excitedly rigging up and scampering to the water, we forget to do the little things…like look behind us before we cast. The first back cast ends up snagged in a tree, and the typical moves to try and unsnag have no effect.
The only option is to snap it all off and retie. Inevitably, you mumble to yourself, out loud, “Well, I guess it’s going to be one of those days.”

Quote of the Week
“There is no better high than discovery.”
Trip We are Dreaming About
Any where you fish it, the Green River seems to generate the most incredible scenery to throw a line. And the numbers of fish that fill this river are legendary. That’s why the boys at GFW never let this river get too far out of sight. We can’t wait to find our spot on this absolute gem of river to do what we love the most…fish!
What We Are Watching
Fly Fishing the Best River in the World: The Green
Here’s a fun little jaunt to the Green River from Brody Sanderson and his buddy Elan Powless. The two take us on a three day journey into some secluded water where they put a BUNCH of pretty fish in the nets. The best part about this cool little video is the energy these two bring to fishing. It is clear they are having a blast, and their sense of adventure inspires even the most senior fisherman. Ah, to be young again! Thanks @brodysanderson for a great fishing video!
What We Are Reading
Permission To Feel
Recommended by this week’s Podcast guest, Jennifer Wallace, this book provides incredible information on the importance of growing our knowledge of Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
“I think because of this hyper focus on individualism and self-reliance that we raise our boys with, it could be hard to acknowledge how somebody else contributes positively to your life because it feels like you should be able to do it all on your own. And so that's one of the things that hold men back, is acknowledging how other people contribute. His book called Permission to Feel could be useful for men.” - Jennifer Wallace
Fish of the Week
Big Brook Trout from @hand_and_fish_troutfitters!
Now THAT’S a nice fish! We are big lovers of the brook trout here at GFW, and the only thing that makes catching brook trout more fun, is catching BIG brook trout!
Strike of the Week
Mad Props to Our Long Billed Friend!
Thanks to @exploreflyfishing for this beauty! The things we experience out on the water sometimes have nothing to do with us. It is in these times that the wonder of the world leave us in awe.
One Fly Pattern
The “Skating Sedge” by @marco_naldi_fly_tier
This buggy looking beauty by Marco Naldi looks amazing! This bad boy is sure to put fish in the net this fall. No trout could resist!
