Tattoos often act as time stamps on our lives. Instead of journaling or documenting grief, growth, and milestones, we let ink tell the story. From breakups and loss to sobriety, identity shifts, and survival moments, tattoos become proof that we didn’t just watch the year pass — we lived it.

Montana’s waters are home to a variety of trout species, each offering a unique experience for anglers. From the acrobatic rainbow trout to aggressive brown trout, and native cutthroat with their signature throat slash, there’s something for everyone. Brook trout thrive in cold streams, while elusive bull trout require pristine conditions. Kokanee salmon add to the challenge. Each species reflects the beauty and diversity of Montana’s fly fishing heritage.
