BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 177: Salmon Source to Sea Expedition with Libby Tobey and Hailey Thompson

In April of 2022, Libby Tobey, Hailey Thompson and Brooke Hess skied into Marsh Creek in Idaho’s Sawtooth Range, towing their kayaks and a sled full of camping gear. The goal: trace the route of anadromous fish from the source of the Salmon River to the Pacific Ocean and advocate removing the four dams on the Lower Snake River that block that migration and are killing that river system. 78 days and 1000 miles away down the tiniest tributaries to the massive whitewater of the main rivers, ...

Mule Deer Reuben

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Micah Fields

I’m a daydreamer at heart, and I spend a lot of time fantasizing about recipes during the big game hunting season. Between the idle hours spent driving to trailheads, hiking to glassing knobs in the dark, and waiting for first light, my mind frequently wanders to winter and spring, when I’ll (hopefully) transform the meat from a successful harvest into nourishing and delicious meals for my family and friends. Part of this is purely logistical—I need to plan what to use and how, in order to ...

Fish Tacos for a Special Occasion

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Cody Grewing

For the boatless angler, or even the boated angler for that matter, there is no better time to catch a meal of fresh fish than spring. Whether casting off rocky points for walleyes, probing back bays for panfish or pike, or propping up a chair on a windswept shoreline for hungry channel cats, the arrival of spring means opportunities aplenty. Now while I’m all for keeping a well-stocked freezer, fresh fish is the best fish. For many, spring’s bountiful harvests are a great opportunity to ...
