One Stack to rule them all

You can pick and choose what you read.

The Middle River Dispatches Substack is a gumbo of fly-fishing, conservation and politics. It’s the central location for the various areas of my writing. You can subscribe by hitting the link in the titles or the buttons below the descriptions.

Tales from a Trout Wrangler

I’ll do most of my writing at Tales From a Trout Wrangler. Tales chronicles things I learn as a fly-fishing guide and my personal fly-fishing adventures. I’ll share lessons learned, tactics and tips that I think will help others enjoy their time on the water.

Squaretail Chronicles

Chronicles is a section in Tales and is mostly a travelogue of my adventures in the mountains spending time with my beloved native brook trout.

Outside Politics

With more than 40 years of political and federal policy work under my belt I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out the politics of conservation and outdoor recreation politics. Outside Politics is the backstory of how public policy is made.
