Here’s an awesome short by Jeremy Inman from his season up in Alaska showing how the guides relax on their days off. Big trout and salmon on mice and streamers, doesn’t get much better than that. Enjoy!

When it comes to tossing big, bushy flies on small, tight streams, Redington’s Butter Stick is undefeated. The new-age rod offers a fairly inexpensive portal into fishing with fiberglass rods, an older and more classic style of fishing that has recently been dusted off and put to use by the […]
Winston took the fly rod industry by surprise this year, releasing two new rod families less than a year after bringing out the AIR. Their new rods – the Nimbus and Kairos – are meant to provide access to the Winston family at lower price points than their top of […]
This summer I was blessed enough to be able to load my family (including two kids under the age of 5) into the family van and start on the 700 mile drive to Southern California. Driving twelve-plus hours, when you include potty breaks, is ALWAYS (sarcasm) exactly how I want […]

I can never quite put my finger on it, but I always get excited when I know I will be fishing for Westslope Cutthroat Trout. There is something to be said for chasing a native fish in their home streams where they have been for thousands of years. Sadly the […]
Anglers have an interesting way of communicating with each other. Between the many sects and styles, personalities and demographics, we all have one thing in common. As a collective group, we are appreciative of small gifts – early mornings on empty, misty rivers, catching a trout on the first cast, […]
The foam spider is my go-to pattern for bluegills. If I was limited to one fly for panfish, the chartreuse spider would be my choice. Earlier this year in June when the bluegills were in the shallows, this fly accounted for close to 150 fish for a friend and I […]
When I think of fly fishing from a sporting standpoint, I can’t help but equate it to running. I am a runner, but very much on my own schedule, fairly inconsistently and, most importantly, no drama. In other words, I like to go at different times of day, at various […]
It’s summer time and the living is easy! My hometown of San Diego is the perfect summer vacation town, and it’s well known for this. We are extremely family friendly with miles of easily accessible sand beaches, good surf for body boarders and surfers, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Legoland, […]
As fisherfolk, we all have heard of ‘the secret spots’ in one form or another. My co-workers have spoken of them for as long as memory serves me. Long before I was a dedicated flyfisher, they held meetings around the computer analyzing Google Earth for the best access routes and […]
My brother and I didn’t always get along. As with a lot of siblings I imagine when we were growing up we didn’t always see eye to eye on things. We would argue about who was sitting in the front seat of the car, which one of us got which […]
