Today was a special one on the water as we had the privilege of fishing with Hannah. It had been 16 months since she last cast a line—an accident had left her right side immobile, but her determination to return to the river never wavered.

She wasn’t about to let anything keep her from doing what she loves. Watching her back in action, reeling in walleye and flashing that unforgettable smile, was nothing short of inspiring. The laughter, the joy, and the fish—today was a celebration of resilience, strength, and the healing power of the outdoors.

As we enjoyed our walleye bite, Captain Wade was upriver putting in the hours hunting down summer Chinook on the Columbia.
