If you’ve been reading our regular Wednesday Wake-Up Call posts, you’re surely familiar with the difficulties plaguing Montana’s Big Hole watershed, as well as the efforts by our partners at Big Hole Lodge to find solutions. Wade Fellin recently made this video to talk about how the relationship between Orvis and BHL came to be and what it has meant to both the Fellin family’s business and their home waters. When Wade’s dad, Craig, first started the business in the early 80s, he couldn’t have foreseen the incredible changes in the sport, the watershed, and the state that were to come. Orvis is proud to partner with such remarkable stewards of the environment, folks who share our passion for both the natural world and fly fishing. Stick around until the fishing action at the end of the video to see Wade’s wife, Madeline, hook a huge brown trout on a dry fly.
