Apparently, he taught @tatummonod a thing or two about casting as well. When Tatum isn’t sledding into backcountry lines, throwing double backies, and now chasing down big AK lines, you’ll likely find her out here…doing this.”

“I often remind myself that even the worst storms always pass—literally or figuratively. The amazing @sonnietrotter keeping it positive and gearing up for a clear weather window in the morning. Canadian Rockies, Alberta.” Photo by Jimmy Chin for Travel Alberta.
