There's a buzz in the air here at the shop. Why? Our Website and Online Manager, Tanner Smith, hasn't told you about his impending hosted trip to the Bighorn River in Fort Smith? No way.

There's nothing in this world that Tanner loves more than new trout. Permit? Nah. Tarpon? Ehh. Trout? Hell yes! (That's a Tanner Smith "Hell yes," if you've heard a Tanner Smith "Hell yes," you know that's a pretty good "Hell yes." - see below for video evidence of a Tanner Smith "Hell yes.") He leaves tomorrow and I don't want to speak for the rest of the Trouts team, but we can't wait to hear the stories from this trip. We also could use a little peace and quiet around here, as ole blabbermouth takes his talents up to the 406.

If you were tuned into the blog earlier this spring, you know that they had some good times on the water with Pete and the crew from Bighorn Angler. High water was the theme last trip. With forecasted temps in the 40s, streamers and blue-winged olives look to be the big themes for the upcoming trip. Stay tuned to our Instagram for stories from the road and check back into the blog next week for Tanner's takes from his trip. Bon Voyage, Tanner!
