In this episode of Waypoints, we return to the heart of one of the most important — and complex — conservation stories in the world of flyfishing: the state of Montana's Big Hole and the rivers of southwest Montana. Nearly two years after the New York Times released an article focusing on declining fish populations throughout the region, recent data from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks suggests that there may be signs of hope and recovery for wild trout. But with mixed messages, differing perspectives, and strong emotions still swirling throughout the guide, outfitting, and recreational angling communities, the real story is far from simple. Joined by Jim Olsen – Fisheries Biologist for Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks in the Big Hole River basin – and by Eric Thorson – co-owner of Sunrise Fly Shop in Melrose, Montana – host Jim Klug digs into the facts, revisits the concerns, and examines what's really going on beneath the surface of these legendary waters.Why should this topic matter to anglers from outside of Montana and across the country? Because what happens in the Big Hole doesn't stay in the Big Hole. These rivers are ground zero for a larger conversation about climate change, water use, fishing pressure, wild trout resilience, and the future of angling in the American West. Whether you've fished these waters for decades, or plan to someday cast a line in Montana, this episode offers critical insight into how science, community, and conservation are colliding in real time — and what that means for the future of wild trout.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions.

“Bully,” the eleventh studio album by Kanye West, now known as Ye, marks a striking return to solo artistry for the controversial rapper and producer. Released on March 18, 2025, and officially uploaded to YouTube on March 21, 2025, this project arrives amid a whirlwind of personal and public turmoil, reflecting both Ye's creative evolution and his unapologetic defiance. The album's title draws inspiration from a personal anecdote involving his son, Saint West, who reportedly kicked another child for being “weak,” a story Ye shared with a mix of amusement and pride in a February 2025 interview with Justin LaBoy. This incident, paired with thematic nods to Larry Clark's 2001 film “Bully”—a tale of teens exacting revenge on an abusive peer—frames the album as a symbolic break from external control, notably Ye's tumultuous history with Adidas, whom he casts as his own metaphorical tormentor.Musically, “Bully” diverges from the collaborative chaos of Ye's recent “Vultures” series with Ty Dolla $ign, embracing a self-produced, introspective soundscape that critics have hailed as his strongest in over a decade. The album blends the soulful patience of his early work, like “The College Dropout,” with the experimental warmth of singles such as “Only One” (2014) and “FourFiveSeconds” (2015). Tracks like “Preacher Man” and “Beauty and the Beast,” previewed in September 2024 at a China listening event, showcase lush samples—from The Supremes' “You Can't Hurry Love” to Cortex's “Huit Octobre 1971”—chopped with a meticulous hand, evoking a nostalgic yet forward-thinking vibe. GQ praised its “rich, warm, even optimistic” tone, a stark contrast to Ye's public persona, suggesting a retreat from the internet's noise into a cloistered creative space.Yet, “Bully” is unmistakably a work in progress. Released initially as a 45-minute short film directed by Ye and edited by Hype Williams, it features Saint battling Japanese wrestlers with a plastic mallet—a surreal visual that mirrors the album's raw, unfinished state. Ye himself admitted on X that it's “not finished and half the vocals AI,” a choice that divides listeners. The AI-generated vocals, often mimicking his “808s & Heartbreak” style, serve as texture rather than substance, occasionally jarring against the otherwise masterful beats. Three versions—“Screening,” “Post Hype,” and “Post Post Hype”—circulated online, with the YouTube release, “BULLY V1,” trimming the tracklist to nine songs, notably dropping “Melrose” featuring Playboi Carti and Ty Dolla $ign amid reported feuds.The album's rollout was overshadowed by Ye's latest social media spiral, rife with antisemitic rants, swastika imagery, and attacks on peers like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Kendrick Lamar. An alternative cover featuring a red swastika underscored his provocative stance, aligning with previews like “World War 3,” where he doubles down on his polarizing views. This chaos contrasts sharply with the music's calm, almost serene quality—tracks that narrate betrayal and resilience with a soothing undercurrent, as one X user noted, calling it “the complete opposite of what its title suggests.”Despite the controversy, “Bully” has garnered acclaim for its production, with some fans and critics dubbing it a return to form, even in its rough state. Its unconventional release—bypassing streaming platforms for X and YouTube—reflects Ye's disdain for industry norms, as he decried “fake streams” and “French and Jewish record labels.” Whether it evolves into a polished final product or remains a snapshot of Ye's turbulent 2025, “Bully” stands as a testament to his enduring genius and unrelenting defiance, a paradox of beauty and unrest at the heart of his legacy.

'Saint Cuthbert was born in Britain about the year 635, and became a monk in his youth at the monastery of Melrose by the River Tweed. After many years of struggle as a true priest of Christ, in the service both of his own brethren and of the neglected Christians of isolated country villages, he became a solitary on Farne Island in 676. After eight years as a hermit, he was constrained to leave his quiet to become Bishop of Lindisfarne, in which office he served for almost two years. He returned to his hermitage two months before he reposed in peace in 687. 'Because of the miracles he wrought both during his life and at his tomb after death, he is called the "Wonderworker of Britain." The whole English people honoured him, and kings were both benefactors to his shrine and suppliants of his prayers. Eleven years after his death, his holy relics were revealed to be incorrupt; when his body was translated from Lindisfarne to Durham Cathedral in August of 1104, his body was still found to be untouched by decay, giving off "an odour of the sweetest fragrancy," and "from the flexibility of its joints representing a person asleep rather than dead." Finally, when the most impious Henry VIII desecrated his shrine, opening it to despoil it of its valuables, his body was again found incorrupt, and was buried in 1542. It is believed that after this the holy relics of Saint Cuthbert were hidden to preserve them from further desecration.' (Great Horologion)
