It might be a question you’ve heard many times before, or it might be a question that you’ve never thought about. Either way, there can be an infinite amount of responses, and the answer will be different from every angler. Regardless of the reason, even if we may not realize […]

Fly Fishing is often seen as an easy, calm, and relaxing sport. Upon diving in head first, it can almost instantly become overwhelming. Over the next four articles, I hope to break it down for the newcomers; re-inspire those who have been doing it on and off for a few […]
The day started off different than most days I go fishing. I woke up at the same time I normally do, I made coffee like I normally do and I packed some food for the day like a normally do. My gear was already loaded in the truck ready and […]
This is an article by a novice musky fly fisherman written for other beginners. After fishing for salmonids throughout most of our lives, two friends and I decided to pursue the baddest freshwater fish on the North American continent. Esox masquinongy, or the muskellunge, is known as one of the […]
Dana, better known by his instagram handle, @kootenay_kid, summed up my latest visit to the East Kootenays perfectly when I asked him how things were on the water. “How’s the fishing,” I asked. “You mean the casting?” he responded sarcastically.

Reels man, what do they even do? Hold line and look pretty? Well, not exactly. I’ve had my fair share of reels that suddenly lock up while I am fighting a fish. You can only have that stupid small handle screw falling so many times. Plus, I think fundamentally, fly […]
Time for an exercise in thoughts – which came first rising trout or tweed?!? Ha ha ha! No that’s not the real question today. Today’s question is one that I’ve spent a decent amount of time asking wiser fly fisherman than myself – and the answer came back a resounding, […]
The other day a friend of mine was telling me about his first negative encounter with another angler. He and a friend got up stupid early in hopes to be the first fisherman on the water. His hopes were dashed when he saw an SUV already parked where they planned […]
