DENVER (July 22, 2026) – On a recent episode (#34) of the Fly Fisherman Loop to Loop podcast, Ross Purnell, Publisher/Editor of Fly Fisherman Magazine, sits down with Hilary Hutcheson, renowned fly fisher, whitewater fly fishing guide, environmental steward, owner of Lary’s Fly & Supply in Columbia Falls, Montana, board member of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association, and active member of a host of other organizations dedicated to sustainability and conservation, and author and co-director of the Yeti Presents film The Tengu Club, an acclaimed film exploring—in a very personal way because Hutcheson is of Japanese descent—the story of Japanese American fishing history, cultural heritage and resilience.
A frequent contributor to Fly Fisherman magazine, Hilary Hutcheson made the trip from northwest Montana to visit with podcast host Ross Purnell and tough out the Keystone State’s greatly changeable summertime weather to fish for smallmouth bass on one of Purnell’s favorite local waters, and she also took time to record a podcast at a rustic cabin.
Purnell was quick to thank Hutcheson for her regular appearances in the magazine and point out that she’s never writing about herself but always bringing to light the good work being done by others. “I definitely want to be able to key in with all of the stories that guides, especially, have to tell and try to bring those to the forefront,” said Hutcheson. “You know, not everybody has the opportunity to be able to tell their story, so trying to go out and help them get their story out there is pretty important to me. Especially when it’s conservation-based and helps other people. Like people read the magazine and hear about the awesome things that guides and outfitters are doing to protect the resource, then they’re like, ‘All right…we’re on a team out there.’”
Hutcheson grew up along the water in the West Glacier area—her father was a biologist there working for the National Park Service. “. . .Where I live in the Flathead Valley, we’ve got the North Fork, Middle Fork, the South Fork, and the main stem of the Flathead just right there in your backyard. Super fun, dynamic water that you can go to and swim and berry pick and run your dog and hike and also, of course, you can float the whole thing and fish. And so, we all, my friends and I, were always at the river, and my sister and I loved to be at the river, and so it was starting to run the river, starting with Lower McDonald Creek that went into the Middle Fork of the Flathead, at a young age, and fifth and sixth grade, and deflating our inflatable kayak and hitchhiking back before my parents knew we had left the lake. Because they let us paddle around on Lake McDonald when my Dad was at work – he worked at headquarters in Glacier National Park; he was a biologist – so he’d bring us up in the summertime and let us mess around on the lake, but the lake runs into the creek and the creek runs into the river, and we started to get proficient at running the river. And I think we always wore life jackets because we were like, ‘We’re definitely getting caught if we have an issue out here. If we almost die, we’re gonna get caught, we can’t get caught.”
“And then we kind of just fell into fly fishing . . . my buddy I was floating with, his grandparents lived along the river, and we floated up to their little trailer on the river and we were messing around with a Frisbee or football, I can’t remember actually whether it was a Frisbee or a Nerf football, but we got it stuck in a tree and we went into the shed to get something to get it out, and it was this long—I think bamboo—fly rod, and we start jabbing at the tree to get it out, and his uncle came running down like, ‘Be careful, like don’t break that! It’s a fly rod!’ I think this was in fifth grade or something like that, and so he’s like, ‘This is what you do.’ And it had a fly on it. It had really old line and leader. It was a super old rod, and we just went out right there and started messing around with it and caught a fish immediately. I was like, “What is this? What are we doing?”
After that experience, Hutcheson did everything should could to learn about fishing, and then as a teenager she began to work at the Glacier Raft Company (at that time the company was serving as technical director/advisor for the film The River Wild, starring Meryl Streep) and Hutcheson worked as a nanny for the owner’s children during filming, then as a “barn boy” doing all sorts of chores, and eventually she began to help guide whitewater trips. A couple of years earlier the movie A River Runs Through It had been released, and interest in fly fishing surged. Soon the owner of the rafting company was looking for guides who could fly fish. “Suddenly it was gangbusters,” said Hutcheson, “and then we were fishing guides!”
Hutcheson has been guiding on the Flathead off and on for more than three decades and had the following to say when asked to describe the amazing cutthroat trout fishery:
“Oh my gosh, it’s a dream. The North Fork, the Middle Fork and the South Fork are the three forks of the Flathead, and they’re all part of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and it’s really special because fewer than one-half of one percent of the nation’s rivers have this level of protection that we have on three of our local rivers. So, for starters, it’s very pristine. It’s very low on phosphorus and nitrogen, so it’s nutrient-poor. We don’t have big hatches, but you’re not going to see a ton of algae, and it’s just really gin clear. So, we have all the bugs. We just don’t have, like you go to Missoula in April for the Skwala Hatch, or you know, you go to Gunnison for the salmon flies or something in June, we don’t have that destination hatch that the people are coming for, but we have all the bugs and the fish eat all of them. So, it’s really fun because we fish a lot of attractors . . .”
“You mentioned cutthroat. It’s native and wild, black-spotted Westslope Cutthroat Trout in an intact ecosystem. So, when I first started guiding, people just wanted to catch a fish, and then they wanted to catch big fish, and then they wanted to catch a fish on a dry fly, and now the bucket list is: I want to catch a wild and native cutthroat trout in an intact ecosystem. It’s a relatively intact ecosystem. We’ve had some non-native plant species, and we’ve lost a couple inland animals that have gone off into the prairie. So, relatively intact. But now people know what that is. So, I’m stoked because people are like, ‘Yeah, I’m here to catch this fish in this place because it’s one of the world’s last remaining strongholds.’ That’s epic to me. I’ve been here for so long, but to have people like now want to do that is, for me, very special. And, I see it outside our fishery too, like wanting to catch Mayan cichlids now that are native in a certain spot, or like Guadalupe bass or something, you know, looking for native fish in places native and wild and meeting the people who care about that and protect them. I think that people are seeking that out now.”
“It was so much fun to spend time with Hilary Hutcheson and to catch smallmouth bass with her and get to know her a little better,” said Purnell. “I can’t believe that she made the trip all the way from what many would consider to be the premier fly-fishing destination in America to spend time with the Fly Fisherman crew, but I’m sure glad she did. I think our audience is going to love what Hilary has to say about life on the water in Big Sky Country and I strongly urge them to check out The Tengu Club on YouTube.”
Available on Apple Podcast, YouTube, Spotify, and at FlyFisherman.com the latest episode of Fly Fisherman Loop to Loop podcast is a must-listen for fly fishing enthusiasts of all levels who want to stay informed.

Deer-Hunting Educational Video Series Expanded with “Whitetail 201,” Presented by LaCrosse
DENVER (July 17, 2026) – Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) is proud to announce the launch of its latest educational initiative, “Whitetail 201,” Presented by LaCrosse, and in Partnership with Browning, Millennium, Spypoint, Bowtech & Excalibur, and OSG’s North American Whitetail brand. The 10-episode video series marks an expansion of the current “Whitetail 101” educational series that was launched last summer to welcome and equip entry-level deer hunters and help remove any barriers to participation. “Whitetail 201” is designed to help all deer hunters increase their knowledge and improve their odds of success in the coming season.
The original 20-episode “Whitetail 101” video series, hosted by Blake Garlock, shared insights across three phases of deer hunting: Before the Hunt with licensing, securing equipment, scouting and preparation; During the Hunt, including techniques, safety and strategies for success in the woods; and After the Hunt, detailing game recovery, tagging, field-dressing and taxidermy.
“Put simply, our original mission with ‘Whitetail 101’ was to break down any barriers to entry for new or prospective deer hunters,” said Michael Cassidy, Group Publisher at Outdoor Sportsman Group. “Now with ‘Whitetail 201,’ we’re building onto that course and covering topics that give both newcomers and experienced deer hunters the opportunity to learn something new about the latest gear and best practices in the deer woods. The idea is to continue providing reliable, expert-driven information that will make the experience both more attainable and more fun.”
Hosted by North American Whitetail (NAW) Managing Editor Colton Bagnoli and respected deer hunter and regular NAW Contributor Jace Bauserman, “Whitetail 201” provides insights and expertise that only come from years of hunting whitetail deer. Bagnoli and Bauserman offer a variety of tips and tricks to help hunters grow their confidence in the field.
Adding to the current video archive, Bagnoli and Bauserman cover a wide range of topics, including trail camera setup; reading whitetail deer sign; treestand location and setup; ground blind location and setup; tuning broadheads; rifle and ammo selection; when to use aggressive hunting tactics; how long to wait after a shot, depending on impact; human scent reduction and using deer attractants; shot placement and angles; and much more.
“Whitetail 101” offers a trusted, accessible resource to guide beginners through every stage of their hunting journey, and now “Whitetail 201” gives them the opportunity to level up.
“Deer hunting is a pinnacle outdoor experience,” said Group Publisher Michael Cassidy, “but getting started can be overwhelming. Because of that, Outdoor Sportsman Group will continue adding to our deer-hunting video library to ensure that it’s the go-to resource for new hunters.”
With presenting partner LaCrosse, and participating sponsors Browning, Millennium, Spypoint, Bowtech & Excalibur, “Whitetail 201” ensures the series is backed by the highest levels of expertise and innovation in the industry, and Outdoor Sportsman Group will leverage digital and off-channel marketing strategies to connect with as many aspiring deer hunters as possible.

DENVER (July 16, 2026) – The Bowhunter Podcast, presented by Tactacam, and in partnership with Poncho Outdoors, recently sat down for an entertaining and info-filled conversation with long-time Bowhunter TV contributors, current Bowhunter Magazine Hunting Editor and Host of Bowhunter TV, Curt Wells, and current “Empty Quiver” Columnist and regular TV Contributor Danny Farris. Both Wells and Farris have had long and storied careers with the Bowhunter brand. Wells previously served as the brand’s Equipment Editor and began his television hunting career back in 2004, when the brand launched its linear TV program. Later, he became the brand’s full-time Editor in 2016, following in the footsteps of legendary Editor Dwight Schuh, and at that time, Wells also assumed TV hosting responsibilities alongside Mike Carney, who is now President & CEO of Outdoor Sportsman Group.
Farris served Bowhunter and other OSG brands on the sales and publishing side of the business for many years. Today he runs Ultimate Predator/Stalker Decoys and continues to contribute to the Bowhunter brand at the highest level. In fact, Farris and his massive Colorado bighorn sheep grace the cover of the magazine’s July/August 2026 edition, on newsstands now. Wells’ story “Double Tap on Moose,” which details his recent successful Canada moose hunt in Alberta, is also in the issue. Not coincidentally, both magazine features complement incredible Bowhunter TV episodes that will be airing soon. These two hunters routinely compete for the unofficial title of “President of the Bowhunter TV Killing Department,” and they represent more than two decades of bowhunting experience with TV cameras over their shoulders and over 85 years of combined bowhunting experience.
When questioned by podcast Host and Bowhunter Editor-in-Chief Christian Berg about TV participation, Curt Wells had the following to say:
“I’ve been there since the beginning, and I still remember publisher Jeff Waring calling me in 2004 and asking me. He said, ‘We’re gonna create a TV show; do you want to be involved?’ and I told him, ‘That’s quite possibly the dumbest question I’ve ever heard in my life.’ I was leaving for Africa in two weeks, but we didn’t have cameras, we didn’t have cameramen, we didn’t have any production facilities or nothin’. They weren’t ready. So, I did that hunt on my own. But since then, it has been one hell of a ride. Twenty-two years of going on hunts that I never would have been able to go on before the TV show.”
“That’s one of the advantages when hunting for TV, because you get more opportunities than you otherwise might have. So, I’m up to 10 countries and every Canadian province, and probably 30 states, somewhere in there. I did things like hunt Yukon moose in the Yukon three years in a row, and then I hunted brown bears three years in a row. Even people with a whole lot of money don’t have a hunt schedule like that. So, it has just been incredible.”
“I told my wife, ‘If I can get 10 years out of this, I’ll be happy.’ But here we are at 22 years. I just sit on an airplane every now and then and shake my head in disbelief and keep thinking everytime the phone rings somebody is going to say, ‘No, no, we meant the other Curt Wells!’ So, I’m super appreciative of the opportunities I’ve had over the years.”
When questioned about his toughest or most memorable Bowhunter TV hunt, Danny Farris recalled a spring bear hunt he had at Fontaine Lake in northern Saskatchewan:
“What made it special was, we were struggling. This bear was dancing circles around us. He had a knack for knowing if we were going to be there. Let me back up a little bit. To get from camp to our bait site was an hour-and-a-half-long ordeal where you’d ride a four-wheeler part of the way and then you would boat for more than an hour way up north, right on the border of the [Northwest] Territories, so you couldn’t be there from early morning all the way to evening; you had to kind of pick one. Well, if we were there in the evening, that sucker would hit in the morning, and if we were there in the morning, he’d hit during the evening. And we were getting down to the last days of the hunt, so we decided that day we were going in early in the morning…”
“Of course, the days that time of year are long, long, long, and we had this cameraman named Matt Young on that hunt…crazy Matt Young. He is the only cameraman that I know of who would have done this with me. So, we got in that stand early in the morning and went all the way through that day, and you know dark is like 11 o’clock there, and so we hunted all through that day and the bear never showed up, and I looked at Matt at probably 9 o’clock that evening and said, ‘You know what’s going to happen; if they come and pick us up, we’re not going to be here in the morning and that sucker is going to hit first thing in the morning.’ And dark is only about 4 hours. And I said, ‘Dude, What do you think about trying to sleep in this treestand so that we’re here first thing in the morning?’ Ninety-nine percent of cameramen out there would have told me to go shove it. ‘Pack sand! I’m not sitting over a bait site in a treestand that’s only about six feet off the ground, overnight, with bears wandering around,’ and Matt was like, ‘Let’s do it!’ Instantly – there was no hesitation with that guy!”
“And literally, we just ran our safety harnesses further up the tree, so that we could kind of dangle forward in the stand without really going anywhere, and we slept. We slept in that stand. And, sure enough, right as it was cracking daylight, I woke up and said, ‘Let’s get our stuff together.’ No sooner did we get in position and that bear shows up and I arrowed that bear! The part that made it really cool for me is, I’ve hunted with my buddy here, my mentor, Curt Wells, a lot of times. Curt, he doesn’t get real excited. He’s monotone. He doesn’t ever show any big, emotional anything. He’s been doing this a long time, he’s a professional, and he keeps it that way. When I came in with the bear that morning, Curt got excited. Curt was whooping and hollering at me, and [that] made it one of my best moments – close with a couple of other moments I’ve had on Bowhunter TV – but just the fact that Curt was that fired up. ‘Gawd dang it,’ Curt said. ‘You did it! I can’t believe it!’”
Bowhunter TV has been dedicated to covering the entirety of the bowhunting experience for over two decades, and thanks to a team of devoted and sometimes downright stubborn hunters, equally determined cameramen and production team members – and stalwart partners like Hoyt, Easton, FeraDyne Outdoors (Rage, Muzzy, GlenDel & Block targets, Rhino blinds & stands), Browning Trail Cameras, Lancaster Archery Supply, Spot Hogg, Code of Silence, Kenetrek, QAD and more – the program has captured some of outdoor TV’s most compelling and memorable hunts. Be sure to tune in for an epic Season 22.
