Quick night in Indiana.

Pretty stoked to see some images of my weekend river trip with @chacofootwear filtering on their website. Major props to @matt_gaba and @brockfuller for catching tons of fish and making my job easy! Here's a beautiful brown caught by @matt_gaba just below Bull Shoals Dam on the White River during the shad kill. #FlyFishing #WeAreRivers #OnTheWater #Chacos

I was nominated by my friends @western_rise to partake in #thenoeditchallenge. 3 photos in 3 days with no edits. Thanks guys! @kernducote and @dhedden I know you dudes have plenty of photos worthy for this! Let's see them. This is Lake Santeetlah in the Smokies under a thin cloud blanket and starry night sky. #TrustTheWild #thenoeditchallenge

Woke up this morning feeling under the weather and cranky. But sifting through old images I'm reminded that even the worst moments pass and the good mornings are just around the corner. #thebestmedicine #TrustTheWild #FindYourWater #TeamTopo #FlyFishing #Inspiration #DawnPatrol

For some, joy is found up a creek atop a boulder tucked deep within the mountains. @redingtongear #FindYourWater #FlyFishing #TrustTheWild #OnTheWater (at Find Your Water)

I first picked up a camera because I wanted to document my experiences with my friends. Nothing has changed. @brockfuller and I ventured out to Noontootla Creek in Chattahoochee National Forest, GA. It was by far the most technical creek I have ever fished. Thanks for the advice @westernrise_will. Im becoming obsessed with new water. #TrustTheWild #FindYourWater #NoontootlaCreek #OnTheWater
