In my opinion, it was about time somebody designed a fly line specifically for the musky angler, ESPECIALLY one that comes in a 500gr. Boy was I happy to see that Scientific Anglers was coming out with a line for this year, especially since my previous “musky” line was near […]
Switch rods are a concept that has become more mainstream for many people and locations in the past few years. Traditionally they were brought into creation for the use of spey casting in places where full spey rods were too large, however they’re growing in popularity because many are realizing […]
If you are reading these articles in order you have now acquired a rod and reel. The remainder of necessary equipment can either be a few simple things or more stuff than your closet can hold. We are here to talk about the former: keeping it simple. Why is it […]
I desperately want to become a better musky fisherman. While all the amazing trout fishing of the intermountain west often distracts me, I made dedicated attempts at catching musky during the past three years.

It was that time of year again in my neck of the woods. The time of the season where we let the fish do their thing in the rivers so we can have lots of other little fishes to catch in the future. The spring closure is a tough period […]
It all comes back to that first moment, the reason you return. It’s that dimpling glass surface, that first cast. The presentation, clean, accurate, and addictive. And of course, everything that follows. Introducing the new Winston Pure Series. PURE Feel. PURE Presentation. PURE fun. Built for those who prefer to […]
Every year bull trout begin their arduous journey up river towards their spawning grounds. Depending on the distance required to travel, this can begin in the early spring all the way up into the fall. Bulls can travel hundreds of miles from their wintering habitat, traversing looming waterfalls and snaking […]
