A Hunter’s Story Begins
By Timbre Pringle, Faceless Fly Fishing
About fifteen years ago, I took up fly fishing, and it has been the focus of my outdoor life ever since. My boyfriend, D’Arcy, and I spend much of our time in the mountains west of our home in Calgary, Alberta, casting for trout on pristine streams and rivers. But last year, we took up a new sporting pursuit—upland-bird hunting—that keeps us closer to home, walking the prairies and grasslands that we’d previously driven right through on our way to fish.
Our wingshooting journey began more than a decade later, while sitting at a bar in Missoula, Montana, with Orvis Brand Marketing Manager Charley Perkins, during the Orvis Guide Rendezvous. After we’d talked about fishing for a while, Charley brought up the subject of bird hunting, and he was surprised to discover that D’Arcy and I had never done it. He talked about wingshooting with a passion that was hard to ignore, explaining how the fly-fishing and bird seasons went hand in hand and arguing that there is no way you could love one and not the other. We were sold.
