There are many applications for fishing two flies at once. There are also a few ways to go about tying them on. Like most things, there's no single or correct way to do it, but there are ways that...

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. Over the last decade, the Skeena River has experienced a...

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...

It's late in the season and my family and I are at our favourite trout pond, looking to squeeze out one more day of open water fishing before the water turns solid.  The weather is cooperating and I would even go so far as to say that it is pleasant.  It is a good day for fishing.

When it comes to fishing line and chasing walleye in our lakes, I choose both braid and mono.

It's a perfect summer day.  There's a light breeze, its overcast with some sunny breaks, and the temperature is comfortable.  I have lots of choices available to me.  There is great river fishing, good trout fishing, good pike fishing, and good walleye fishing.  I decide I'm going walleye fishing.
