Have you heard of Fish Bacon? I doubt you have. I hadn’t either, until I invented the term. I’m not a big “catch and keep” type of guy. It’s not that I’m entirely against the practice—certainly many fisheries would benefit if us fly-flickers kept a few fish—I just usually find […]
The 14th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour is hitting the road and headed to Salt Lake City with a fresh catch of new films.

Guests at Reel Action Fly Fishing on their Kanektok River camp have an opportunity to visit the Togiak […]
Check out one of the films from this years F3t (Fly Fishing Film Tour) that showcases the work of an amazing organization called Soul River. Based in Portland OR, Soul River uses fly fishing & wilderness education as a form of therapeutic recreation for individuals from every walk of life. […]

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!
