We received a visit from Team Trout Porn last week, as they hit the Missouri River as as part of their annual spring tour of Montana. Talk about enthusiasm, this crew seems to always have a smile on their face, regardless of the fishing, location, weather or water conditions. But they always catch fish, so they should be smiling.
For those of you who are not familiar with Trout Porn, they are group of young-ish anglers who run one of the most popular Facebook/Fly Fishing pages in the webiverse. Always loaded with awesome shots from around the world, if you like looking at images of big fish, you need to check this out. If you subscribe to the “Quiet Sport” ethos, then you might want to take a pass. If you like to have fun while you fish – and stick piggies – then you should “Like” it.
My favorite part of Trout Porn is that I don’t really have a clue who they are. They use nicknames like “Grasshopper” and “Headhunter”. As far as I can tell they are from Alberta, Wyoming, and Montana. At least. I do know a couple of names, but that’s about all. They promote trout, and not themselves. Not the usual bunch of media kooks we see around here. They really seem to love trout fishing and have a great time.
Trout Porn also releases a free e-zine that’s fun to flip through. Each member contributes a “newsletter”, and there is some great still photography/video from a variety of contributors.
