Are golden dorado the perfect game fish? When targeted with a fly rod, dorado combine attributes of many of the best fish species. They possess the predatory instincts of a musky. Their head-shaking leaps are reminiscent of tarpon. A baffling wariness may remind an angler of the choosiest permit. Dorado […]
One of the greatest parts of the fishing calendar is upon us: hopper season! It always baffles me that the same streams packed bank to bank with anglers during stonefly season are nearly devoid of people during hopper season, although the fishing is remarkably similar. Big surface eats, large fish, […]
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. After several mostly unsuccessful attempts at tiger musky this summer, I realized that I am a […]
Being from Minnesota, I’ve never been a huge trout fisherman. I’ve always been more focused on the warmwater species that are abundant in my area, that I grew up fishing for and that I’ll always enjoy targeting. (Not to say there isn’t any trout fishing around here whatsoever, but as […]

(You gotta know when to troll’em…) I arrived at West Blue Lake in Manitoba’s Parkland region on May 19. The ice had only let go about two weeks earlier and the water was a chilly 50 degrees. Perfect! I love fishing for trout when the water is chilly and they […]

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 […]
