Get ready for season 6! I am always blown away by the quality of videos Todd Moen and Catch Magazine are able to put together while dealing with varying weather conditions in remote places. It’s the combination of footage and complementary music that set great videos apart from the rest […]

Do you guys ever get sick of hearing about all the gear that we like to use? Well now is your chance to let us know your thoughts! The question I am about to pose is very simple yet up for a ton of debate. What is your favorite rod […]
I am not a dedicated fisher of alpine stillwaters. I have never planned a fishing trip where these destinations were the main focus. On the other hand, I am an enthusiastic hiker who is always on the lookout for spectacular scenery. Not surprisingly, some of the most scenic trails wind […]
“A bad day of fishing beats a good day at work anytime” is what you commonly hear from others on the water. Although this statement is usually true it doesn’t really speak justice about the scenery and adventures we come across. Here’s a short film from our friends at Smith […]
I used to head out on my float tube with a single outfit and one or two spare spools. It was great in theory but I think I actually changed spools twice in about ten years. It just seemed like way too much effort on a float tube in the […]
Every 4 or 5 years the tropical moisture of El Nino creates monsoons in the Rocky Mountains from late July through August and possibly September during enhanced cycles. This is a good thing. Typically August is the hottest month in the northern hemisphere and daily rain cools the air temperate, […]
I previously lived 15 minutes away from a trout paradise known as the Platte river in Wyoming. Then I found myself married and moving back to Iowa where my wife and I both grew up. It only made sense since both of our families are here. Obviously the trout fishing […]
Editors Note: Bristol Bay Alaska is one of the most pristine wild places on this planet. As an angler and an outdoor enthusiast I hope to see this area remain unchanged for a long time to come. Organizations like Trout Unlimited are doing all they can in order to prevent […]
I’ve come to realize that crappie take top-water flies with incredible enthusiasm. Although not a “classic” fly rod target, their surface-slurping tendencies – especially in the fall – deserve your attention… Although the spring crappie bite can be awesome, late summer and early fall can be even better. At my […]
(Warning: Cute kid fishing pics contained herein.) The dream: Alaskan fly-out lodge. The problem: Dream exceeding budget. The solution: A cruise ship. Seems highly unlikely, right? Swapping a cruise ship for a floatplane. But it works… Even though a cruise ship won’t immerse you in Alaska’s remotest fishing, it will […]
An angler stands on his favorite river, swelled bank to bank with cold, turbid, fast moving, dangerous mid June runoff, and mutters, “When is there going to be some fishable water? Curses foiled again.” Have no fear high country lakes are here! The fish are looking up, hungry and cruise […]
Each year I have the opportunity to spend several days chasing Coho with my parents in the Strait of Juan de Fuca adjacent to Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. While the primary purpose of this annual trip is to keep salmon on my grill the rest of the year, a few years […]
