If you’ve read our regular Wednesday wake-up call posts, you’re probably familiar with the challenges facing Montana’s Big Hole watershed and the efforts of our partners at Big Hole Lodge to find solutions. Wade Fellin recently directed this video to talk about how the relationship between Orvis and BHL came about and what it has meant for both the Fellin family business and their home waters. When Wade’s father, Craig, started the company in the early ’80s, he could not have foreseen the incredible changes in the sport, tipping point and state that were to come. Orvis is proud to work with such remarkable environmentalists, people who share our passion for the outdoors and fly fishing. Stay until the fishing action at the end of the video and see Wade’s wife Madeline catching a giant brown trout with a dry fly.
