Sunday Celebration of Success

This week, let’s celebrate Ethan Lovelace, pictured here with his lovely wife, Deana.

Recently, Ethan was honored by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation as the Fisheries Professional of the Year—a well-deserved recognition for someone who has devoted his career to protecting and improving Oklahoma’s fisheries.

As the Manager of the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area, Ethan is one of those professionals working behind the scenes so thousands of anglers can enjoy healthy fisheries year after year. It’s a job that often goes unnoticed, but it’s one that benefits every one of us who loves being on the water.

Now…before you think Ethan is all business…

There’s also “Vacation Ethan.”

On a recent fly-fishing trip to the Baja Peninsula chasing roosterfish and dorado, Ethan unveiled what may go down as one of the boldest fishing outfits ever worn by a fly angler. Let’s just say…it takes a special kind of confidence to pull off that shirt. 😂

The good news? The roosterfish and dorado didn’t seem to care.

His fishing buddies, however…well…they’re probably still recovering.

Congratulations, Ethan, on being named ODWC Fisheries Professional of the Year. Your passion for conservation, your professionalism, and yes…your willingness to keep everyone laughing make you exactly the kind of person we’re proud to celebrate.

And Ethan…we’re all very thankful you chose the other outfit for the awards ceremony. 🤣

Our Sunday Celebration of Success is about more than the fish. It’s about celebrating the remarkable people who make our fly-fishing community such a great place to belong.

Some flies catch fish. Some catch smiles. 😊

This awesome sketch was drawn by Koda Onstot, who—along with Dan, Caroline, Daniel, and Ryan—helped prepare the incredible vittles that fueled everyone at this year’s Carp-Ageddon.

Now Koda has left another mark on the Fly Shop. His fly drawing is proudly on display for our fly fishing community to enjoy, and we think it captures something special about what this place is all about.

The Fly Shop isn’t just about rods, reels, and flies. It’s about the people who make this community what it is. Whether you’re tying flies, cooking for hungry anglers, teaching a new caster, or sharing your artwork, everyone has something to contribute.

Thanks, Koda, for sharing your talent with all of us. We love it!

“Providing every fly angler with the resources to achieve success on the water”… and building a community worth being part of.

🎉 Sunday Celebration of Success 🎉

This week we’re celebrating Russell Isaacs, owner of Isaacs Farms near Turpin, Oklahoma, who recently landed an absolute stud of a Brown Trout on the legendary White River below Bull Shoals Dam.

If you’ve spent much time around Russell, you already know this wasn’t luck—it was the reward for someone who loves the White River and keeps going back. In fact, he loves it so much that he bought a place there so he could spend even more time chasing those incredible browns.

That’s one of the things we love most about fly fishing. A river has a way of getting into your heart. What starts as “just another fishing trip” often becomes a lifelong pursuit, drawing you back season after season. The White River has certainly done that for Russell.

Congratulations on an incredible fish, Russell! Thank you for being part of this amazing community of fly anglers who remind us that success isn’t just measured in inches—it’s measured in the adventures we pursue, the friendships we build, and the places that keep calling us back.

Now it’s your turn… What river keeps calling you back? Drop it in the comments below—we’d love to hear about the water that’s captured your heart.

Finally! Some good news for a change: the Department of the Interior announced its largest-ever proposed expansion of hunting and fishing access, opening or expanding more than 1,450 opportunities across 111 stations in 32 states — including 107 national wildlife refuges and 4 fish hatcheries. If it goes through, more than 92 million acres (over 95% of the entire National Wildlife Refuge System) would be open to hunting and fishing, with 14 refuges getting access for the very first time. It's open for public comment for 30 days once it's published in the Federal Register, so if you've got an opinion, now's the time to weigh in. Closer to home, Montana just opened the new Siskin Island Fishing Access Site — 82 acres on the upper Yellowstone River near Livingston, reachable by float between Mallards Rest and Pine Creek. One more spot to add to the float list.
