We caught up with Oliver somewhere between the tail end of winter and the slow thaw of spring—the kind of time when the rivers are still locked up but the mind is already drifting downstream. He's the kind of guy who doesn't talk big, but fishes big, with a deep love for the wild places and the fish that live there. From getting frostbitten chasing Dollies to flavor-blasting campfire meals with Goldfish crackers, Oliver's story is one of hard-earned laughs, big fish, and going deep into the backcountry with the right crew and the wrong sleeping bag. We chatted about his journey into fly fishing, what keeps him chasing trophy Dolly Varden, and why the best trips are the ones that leave a mark—on you and your gear.

Every now and then, you cross paths with someone who just gets it—that feeling you get knee-deep in a cold stream, eyes locked on a rising trout, heart beating like it’s the first cast of the season. We caught up with Sarah, an artist and angler who’s carved out her own trail from the banks of Montana to the waters of northern Michigan. Over a cup of camp coffee and stories swapped like flies in a tackle box, she let us in on how fly fishing isn’t just a sport—it’s her canvas.

We caught up with Tomas fresh off an absolute ripper of a fishing trip—one that ended with a brown trout most folks only dream about. Three days, miles of hiking, and one last-minute decision led to a heart-racing moment he won’t forget. With his brothers by his side and a barbless hook keeping things interesting, Tom put his skills to the test and landed the fish of the season. But he’s not done yet—there’s unfinished business on this river, and a new target on the horizon. Here’s how it all went down.
