LWP Broker, Craig Janssen was recently featured in an article in Sports Afield magazine about hunting big game with antique rifles. In the Custom Shop column, Craig is interviewed about his passion for using vintage rifles while hunting pronghorn antelope and deer, along with his family’s affinity for quality, antique guns over more modern hunting rifles. “Dad had a keen eye for quality and helped me to see and appreciate fine things, including American custom rifles.” Craig is doing his best to pass that appreciation down to his own kids.

To Craig, it helps to make hunting ‘the most exciting experience you can imagine,’ and gives the hunter a more intimate connection with his weapon. Enjoy the full double rifle article here.

9-year old Ethan Cardall is learning to fly fish at one of the best places in Wyoming, T Cross Ranch. The ranch sits on 160 acres outside of Dubois, Wyoming and contains over 1 mile of private fishing on the Horse Creek. The creek is heavily populated with brown, rainbow and Yellowstone cutthroat trout, and anglers come back to the creek year after year to fish.

With its headwaters originating a few miles north of the ranch, Horse Creek bisects the property and is famous for its natural population of brook trout. Managed carefully over the years, this unique fishery is known for its abundant populations of brown, rainbow and most recently Yellowstone cutthroat trout. With over a mile of pristine water, the ranch offers excellent private fishing where 16 to 18-inch trout are common. Horse Creek offers exceptional wade fishing both on the property and in the surrounding National Forest. In addition, other tributaries of the Wind River are nearby and offer exciting trout fishing.

Last Saturday I was fishing with my two pals Nico and Max. Nico has a hilarious sense of humor. Max is a funny, little rascal who always is there to help, mess around, or be fun. Spencer was our kind and helpful fishing guide.

We had an exciting day on the Green River. Our weather conditions were warm and sunny. The water that day was very clear. Not many of the spots on the Green were murky. There was a big hatch on the water, but no fish were coming up to eat so we fished nymphs.
We caught 3 rainbow trout in the morning, each of us caught one. Halfway through the day Max caught an 18-inch rainbow trout. Going into the end of the day we were right next to the take-out spot. I was on the front of the boat with the rod. I was casting into the foam where the fish normally are. I was stripping in slowly, when…the spectacular brown trout jumped out of the water and ate the fly! I set the hook. I knew I had that brown trout. It was more than 20 inches and a strong fighter.

I think after that exciting day, all of us are the happiest anglers ever. We all caught fish and had a very enjoyable time.

For more information on how you can catch an amazing fish, be sure to contact Spencer Morton. He is the Owner/Operator of Jackson Hole Fly Fishing School. You can also call him at [ai_phone href=”+1.307.699.3440″]307.699.3440[/ai_phone].

In the heart of the Paradise Valley is the Yellowstone Springs Ranch, a 1,224-acre ranch on the Yellowstone River. Yellowstone National Park and Livingston, Montana, are each approximately 30 minutes away (in opposite directions). Abundant populations of ducks, geese, mule deer and white-tailed deer reside on the ranch. More interestingly, a seasonal herd of elk winters on the ranch and several trumpeter swans call the ranch home. With over a mile of one of the best trout fishing stretches on the Yellowstone River and two spring-fed trout ponds, the Yellowstone Springs Ranch is an angler’s paradise. Read more here.

AAA’s April/May issue of Journey magazine featured a photo of the Yakima Canyon Ranch in an article by fly fishing aficionado Michael Hamilton. The photo was taken at Big Horn, the uppermost part of the Yakima Canyon Ranch and is the top spot for boat launching onto the Yakima River for quality fly fishing, which is known for its ‘blue ribbon’ trout stream. Check out the article here.
