When it comes to angling much is made about rods, reels, line and lures. The same can be said about waders, protective clothing and headgear. But one of the most over-looked, but essential, pieces of equipment is the humble fishing bag.

Five Point Plan to Catch More Fish

The great Mike Tyson coined the famous phrase about getting into the ring with him.
“Everyone has a plan,” the former heavyweight boxing champ of the world once said.
“Until they get hit.”
And when you take a right from Iron Mike you know you’ve been hit.
Prize-fighting appears at first sight to be a long way from angling. Especially when it comes to executing “The Plan.”

Bulkley River Steelhead

The sheer size and pound for pound strength of wild run steelhead are next to no other fish caught in freshwater. Yet even more fascinating is the mystery behind their saltwater migration. Little is known about where these steelhead go, and why. But to catch them in flowing waters as they return to their natal streams is truly something special.

Ice Fishing with Flies

It is one of the least utilized, but also one of the more effective hard water presentations, especially for trout.  I often think about how many fish I have caught on flies throughout the summer, and it's a lot, so by this logic, flies should still be effective when the water turns cold and the surface of a lake turns to ice.  And the logic is sound.  For many winters now, I have caught loads of fish using...

Road Trip - Green River Utah

I had the opportunity this summer to cross another river off my fly fishing bucket list, the famous Green River below the Flaming Gorge reservoir near Dutch John Utah. The Flaming Gorge dam, located in the northeast corner of Utah, within casting distance of both Wyoming and Colorado, was built in the early 1960’s, creates a reservoir that ...

Emergers

A fish feeding on the surface will have two distinct looks. The first is when it eats a bug sitting on top of the water surface. It will stick only its snout out of the water. You can often see a bug float into its range and anticipate the eat.

Night Fishing for Trophy Trout

There is mystique about the night. The silence. I cannot help to wonder what monsters stir, not to be seen in the light of day. Brown trout being nocturnal, it only makes sense. But to the advantage of all trout, night is when aerial predators are held mostly at bay.
