Categories: Local EatsPosted: July 09, 2019The perfect burger starts before the fire, not on it. These are four things you need to know if you want to graduate from decent burger chef to Transcendental burger chef with the cast iron. Step 1 for Burgers on Cast Iron: Meat Preparation I'm guilty, you are. Don't try to deny it. You stuff all kinds of stuff into your burgers blue cheese, bread crumbs, eggs- you basically make individual meatloaf and put it on a bun. Stop that. Instead, let the meat be the main course build your patties with good quality hamburger meat (Jason recommends 85/15 burger) and don't handle them so much. Adding ingredients to the meat changes the way it cooks (and these extra additions are typically used to help retain moisture, which will no longer be a problem cooking on cast iron). Pro-tip: Watch the video below to learn the "plate trick" and make perfect... Read more about How to Grill Burgers on a Cast Iron Griddle5 Min -
Categories: MontanaPosted: April 26, 2019Montana is an exceptional place to hunt big game. Residents are spoiled with low tag prices, ample species to pursue with over the counter (OTC) tags, millions of acres of public land, and seasons that last for months. It’s also home to special draws for moose, sheep, goat, bison, elk, antelope, and more. On the top of that list, and arguably at the top of the list in the world, is the bighorn sheep. Most notably, the Missouri River Breaks, “The Breaks” bighorn sheep tag. It’s a tag so coveted that it once went for nearly a half million dollars at auction and consistently sells every year for hundreds of thousands of dollars. In 2018, I drew this permit… Before you head out - Find out what our favorite Top 5 Bows from ATA are.

Posted: October 11, 2018We all learn, when we are little, that a pot of gold lies at the end of any rainbow. Those who do pursue a rainbow’s terminus will only be met with frustration. In many respects, I feel the same way about rainbow trout fisheries in Washington state. Don’t get me wrong, I love catching rainbows and pound for pound you won’t find many harder fighting fish in the state. However, rainbow trout are so widespread in the evergreen state that it's hard to avoid them, frustratingly so. You might think it odd to be frustrated with catching fish, but I’m a person who likes a little variety in his life. After all, you can only chase the pot of gold for so long before it gets boring. Alternative trout fisheries in the state do exist, many are underutilized, and some provide the potential for trophy fish. Here is a rundown of some alternative W...

Posted: September 11, 2018Fall is my favorite time to go fishing. After long, hot and smoky summers the air finally clears, and fish go on the feed fattening themselves up for the coming winter. Not typically as windy as the spring, the weather is more cooperative and the pressure on local lakes is reduced as anglers are distracted by hunting opportunities and crockpots of cheese dip and meatballs followed by football. Opportunities abound in eastern Washington this time of year for the intrepid angler. Here is a rundown of five must-do fall fisheries: 5. Potholes Reservoir Walleye Potholes walleye can be finnicky, but then again, what walleye fishery isn’t finnicky? Walleye fishing gets a lot simpler this time of year as walleye get less picky about what they eat. Trolling is the name of the game on this lake. Bottom walkers trolled at 0.8 to 1....

Posted: September 04, 2018As someone with a Hungarian background, garlic is part of the Holy Trinity (garlic, onions, and paprika) of cooking. We use it in dishes from breakfast to supper, along with eating it for its immune boosting qualities. Whether it’s the pungent hardnecked varieties or its versatile softneck sibling, garlic is one of those must-have ingredients in the kitchen. The good news is garlic is easy to grow pretty much anywhere in the country, and it’s one of those crops were putting a little time in the fall reaps the benefit next summer, making it one of those enjoyable autumn tasks. Plant Softneck Garlic to Last the Winter From mild to a hot there is a multitude of garlic varieties between the main subspecies with hardneck and softneck garlics being the most popular. The type you choose depends partly on your climate, as well as your taste ... Read more about Spicing up Next Season: When and How to Plant Garlic5 Min -
Hi everybody. I’ve been getting lots of e-mails and calls asking me what the steelhead run is looking like this year and what we can expect in the future. So, I figured it was time to give you all an update. This particular update is going to focus on Idaho’s hatchery returns as they are the ones that provide us our fisheries and these are the fish most people are asking me about. I am going to break this update down into two sections. One will focus on the hatchery steelhead that are returning to the Salmon River and Snake River upstream of the Salmon (A-run populations) and the other will focus on the Clearwater River return (B-run population). A-Run Populations (Upper Salmon River and Snake River) For those of you who have been tracking the dam counts, you are probably aware that this year’s steelhead counts at Bonnevi...
