Wind River Golden Trout

This website started in 2009 with the idea of helping others by sharing my experiences on the range, in the field and at the bench. I also wanted to have a journal of my adventures for my children to look back at, especially after I leave this mortal journey.

With the time spent in creating the content for this website and the associated expenses involved with hosting a website, I have partnered with manufacturers and retailers through affiliate links where we may earn a small commission from purchases you make when you follow a link from this website to a product. You pay nothing extra but do help us with your purchases. We really appreciate any help you can give us through your support of the affiliate vendors that we link to. Thank you!

For many years, I, Brady Smith have been the sole provider of the content of the site. In 2024, my youngest son Kaden, started learning the art of producing content for the web with articles written solely by him. He is doing a great job and together with my other son Dallen, I hope they can carry the torch of this site well beyond my days. With this, I am learning to say we instead of I when it comes to this website. Thank you Kaden and Dallen!

The content that we produce is our real-world experiences with us going through the process of figuring out what gear and tactics we prefer to solve the challenges we face in our adventures. Our website is not a cookie-cutter website that spews bullet point marketing copy from AI-generated content. We are buying products and using them based on what we think is best for our needs and then sharing any valuable knowledge we acquire with you.

We hope you find the content of our website helpful and welcome you to link to our content and share it with your friends.

Thank you for your support,
Brady Smith
